HITLER INVADED CZECHOSLOVAKIA,
POLAND, DENMARK AND NORWAY.
7
00:01:14,073 --> 00:01:16,409
3 MILLION GERMAN SOLDIERS,
MASSED AT THE BELGIAN BORDER,
8
00:01:16,492 --> 00:01:18,077
ARE READY TO CONQUER EUROPE
9
00:01:18,161 --> 00:01:19,871
IN GREAT BRITAIN, THE
PARLIAMENT HAS LOST CONFIDENCE
10
00:01:19,954 --> 00:01:21,873
IN HIS PRIME MINISTER
NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN.
11
00:01:21,998 --> 00:01:23,666
WE'RE ALREADY LOOKING FOR ONE
REPLACING...
12
00:01:29,297 --> 00:01:30,798
THE DARK HOURS
13
00:01:32,925 --> 00:01:34,177
Quiet!
14
00:01:35,970 --> 00:01:38,848
Mr. President of the House.
15
00:01:39,182 --> 00:01:40,224
Silence !
16
00:01:40,349 --> 00:01:41,559
The leader...
17
00:01:42,351 --> 00:01:46,481
Quiet!
The Leader of the Opposition, Clement Attlee.
18
00:01:47,398 --> 00:01:48,900
Mr. President,
19
00:01:49,776 --> 00:01:53,279
it seems
that I wasn't clear enough.
20
00:01:54,489 --> 00:01:59,410
I will leave no doubt
about what I think
21
00:01:59,577 --> 00:02:02,789
of Mr. Chamberlain's future
as Prime Minister.
22
00:02:02,955 --> 00:02:05,917
Honorable Members, let him speak!
23
00:02:09,754 --> 00:02:14,217
Due
of his long years of inaction
24
00:02:14,383 --> 00:02:16,594
and incompetence,
25
00:02:16,844 --> 00:02:20,264
we hold it
for personally responsible,
26
00:02:21,516 --> 00:02:23,893
personally responsible
27
00:02:24,102 --> 00:02:25,686
for having left the nation
28
00:02:25,853 --> 00:02:29,524
in disastrous unpreparedness
facing the Nazi peril.
29
00:02:35,988 --> 00:02:37,824
It's a shame!
30
00:02:39,242 --> 00:02:41,494
We are at war, Mr. President,
31
00:02:41,786 --> 00:02:42,829
at war.
32
00:02:43,371 --> 00:02:44,956
Without even addressing
33
00:02:45,081 --> 00:02:48,292
his skills
to govern in times of peace,
34
00:02:48,709 --> 00:02:53,339
he proved incapable
to govern in times of war!
35
00:03:05,059 --> 00:03:06,227
I asked for silence.
36
00:03:06,394 --> 00:03:07,770
Therefore,
37
00:03:08,062 --> 00:03:10,690
in the national interest,
38
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,153
our opposition party
would like to train
39
00:03:15,611 --> 00:03:17,155
a grand coalition
40
00:03:17,363 --> 00:03:21,951
with the conservative party
who claims to be in power.
41
00:03:22,493 --> 00:03:23,911
Silence !
42
00:03:24,036 --> 00:03:26,038
However, I emphasize,
43
00:03:26,164 --> 00:03:29,125
never under the direction
of Mr. Chamberlain,
44
00:03:29,333 --> 00:03:31,460
who has lost the confidence of the House!
45
00:03:33,713 --> 00:03:35,756
In the interest of the country,
46
00:03:35,882 --> 00:03:36,924
resign,
47
00:03:37,049 --> 00:03:40,178
withdraw and we will find
a new leader.
48
00:03:41,929 --> 00:03:43,139
It's a shame!
49
00:03:46,517 --> 00:03:47,643
Where is Winston?
50
00:03:48,644 --> 00:03:52,148
He makes sure his fingerprints
are not on the murder weapon.
51
00:03:57,737 --> 00:04:01,616
The opposition refusing to enter
in a government under my authority,
52
00:04:02,408 --> 00:04:05,286
we must choose my successor.
53
00:04:05,453 --> 00:04:08,164
A man carrying new strength,
54
00:04:08,372 --> 00:04:11,292
who will form
a coalition government.
55
00:04:14,837 --> 00:04:16,547
I will retire tomorrow.
56
00:04:17,506 --> 00:04:18,549
But...
57
00:04:18,883 --> 00:04:21,177
I wanted my party,
58
00:04:21,385 --> 00:04:24,096
men
whom I respect to the highest point,
59
00:04:25,056 --> 00:04:27,099
were the first to be informed.
60
00:04:31,020 --> 00:04:32,563
We must name Halifax,
61
00:04:33,356 --> 00:04:34,607
obviously,
62
00:04:35,024 --> 00:04:36,776
our Minister of Foreign Affairs.
63
00:04:40,112 --> 00:04:41,989
Hands down, Halifax.
64
00:04:42,323 --> 00:04:44,367
I thank you for your trust,
65
00:04:44,533 --> 00:04:47,787
however,
my time has not yet come.
66
00:04:49,956 --> 00:04:51,165
So who?
67
00:04:51,540 --> 00:04:54,460
The person who will be responsible for the task
68
00:04:54,627 --> 00:04:57,129
will have to explore all avenues.
69
00:04:57,338 --> 00:04:59,715
Particularly that of diplomacy.
70
00:05:00,091 --> 00:05:01,133
Indeed.
71
00:05:01,342 --> 00:05:05,137
With a view to the return of peace to Europe.
72
00:05:07,974 --> 00:05:13,104
Gentlemen, there is only one candidate
that the opposition will validate.
73
00:05:13,771 --> 00:05:15,439
No, impossible.
74
00:05:15,606 --> 00:05:16,941
Certainly not.
75
00:05:18,067 --> 00:05:19,944
This is totally absurd.
76
00:05:27,326 --> 00:05:28,828
MAY 9
77
00:05:28,953 --> 00:05:30,246
MAY 10
78
00:05:30,663 --> 00:05:33,165
If he stretches out his hand and says, “Give,”
79
00:05:33,291 --> 00:05:35,418
you have to guess what he wants.
80
00:05:35,584 --> 00:05:37,378
Black or red pen, paper,
81
00:05:37,545 --> 00:05:38,671
or his clop,
82
00:05:39,088 --> 00:05:40,131
It's his hole punch.
83
00:05:40,881 --> 00:05:43,301
It's selfish to resign
at a time like this.
84
00:05:43,509 --> 00:05:45,720
Will I go to Downing Street if he is appointed?
85
00:05:45,886 --> 00:05:49,724
Not after your raisin pudding
from last week.
86
00:05:50,266 --> 00:05:52,727
He mutters, we don't understand everything.
87
00:05:52,893 --> 00:05:56,063
Type quickly, in short bursts,
double spaced.
88
00:05:56,188 --> 00:05:58,274
He hates single spacing.
89
00:05:59,567 --> 00:06:00,609
Good luck.
90
00:06:22,214 --> 00:06:24,342
To the French ambassador.
91
00:06:28,054 --> 00:06:29,889
German forces
92
00:06:31,432 --> 00:06:33,517
having entered Holland...
93
00:06:33,851 --> 00:06:35,561
Holland alone...
94
00:06:36,228 --> 00:06:37,938
Come on, telegram.
95
00:06:38,147 --> 00:06:39,899
Holland alone
96
00:06:40,983 --> 00:06:43,277
request the guarantee
97
00:06:44,236 --> 00:06:47,365
that the French forces
will come forward now...
98
00:06:47,573 --> 00:06:49,241
will come forward immediately
99
00:06:49,450 --> 00:06:52,536
to protect Belgium.
100
00:06:52,995 --> 00:06:54,038
Stop.
101
00:06:58,376 --> 00:07:00,169
The French Ambassador, Sir.
102
00:07:11,764 --> 00:07:14,225
Have they already invaded Belgium?
103
00:07:15,601 --> 00:07:17,770
Holland and Belgium?
104
00:07:19,688 --> 00:07:22,900
I share your request
to the Prime Minister.
105
00:07:24,402 --> 00:07:28,906
Yes, the situation
is still very confusing.
106
00:07:33,702 --> 00:07:34,745
Bye.
107
00:07:37,748 --> 00:07:39,125
"To the French Ambassador..."
108
00:07:39,542 --> 00:07:40,584
Leave that.
109
00:07:41,335 --> 00:07:42,503
New telegram.
110
00:07:42,670 --> 00:07:44,422
To General Ismay.
111
00:07:46,340 --> 00:07:47,383
What else?
112
00:07:47,550 --> 00:07:48,717
Your son.
113
00:07:50,344 --> 00:07:51,887
Randolph, be brief.
114
00:07:54,223 --> 00:07:57,977
Yesterday they said I could
become Prime Minister,
115
00:07:58,144 --> 00:08:00,062
but it was yesterday.
116
00:08:00,271 --> 00:08:02,189
Let's see what happens today.
117
00:08:02,982 --> 00:08:04,066
Let's see what...
118
00:08:04,608 --> 00:08:07,278
Let's see what Neville does today.
119
00:08:12,741 --> 00:08:14,285
Thank you, my boy.
120
00:08:16,412 --> 00:08:17,830
Yes, we won't let them go!
121
00:08:21,834 --> 00:08:23,252
Where are we?
122
00:08:23,836 --> 00:08:24,879
"To General Ismay..."
123
00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:27,882
Sawyers,
124
00:08:28,382 --> 00:08:30,301
get rid of this.
125
00:08:36,098 --> 00:08:37,183
To General Ismay.
126
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,229
In light of events
happened today,
127
00:08:42,938 --> 00:08:45,900
the time is right
128
00:08:47,860 --> 00:08:50,905
to launch numerous preparations...
129
00:08:52,198 --> 00:08:53,282
Does...
130
00:08:54,116 --> 00:08:56,368
do you hit the keys normally?
131
00:08:56,577 --> 00:08:59,330
It's making a racket,
I can't hear myself think.
132
00:08:59,497 --> 00:09:00,623
Reread.
133
00:09:02,124 --> 00:09:03,334
“To General Ismay.
134
00:09:03,834 --> 00:09:06,212
In light of events,
timing is important...
135
00:09:06,712 --> 00:09:09,006
Timely! Not “important”!
136
00:09:09,673 --> 00:09:10,758
Holy blue!
137
00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:14,386
I said, “Timely.”
138
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:15,763
Reread.
139
00:09:16,305 --> 00:09:18,140
"The time is right..."
140
00:09:18,641 --> 00:09:19,683
To do...
141
00:09:21,060 --> 00:09:22,186
Many, many...
142
00:09:22,353 --> 00:09:23,646
Many, many...
143
00:09:23,812 --> 00:09:26,774
Your "many" are too numerous,
little simpleton!
144
00:09:26,941 --> 00:09:28,692
Just one “many”!
145
00:09:28,859 --> 00:09:32,071
To make many preparations.
146
00:09:34,865 --> 00:09:36,200
Single spacing.
147
00:09:36,450 --> 00:09:37,660
Single spacing!
148
00:09:37,826 --> 00:09:39,870
Didn't we warn you, young lady?
149
00:09:41,247 --> 00:09:42,831
It was set to simple.
150
00:09:43,290 --> 00:09:44,333
And you continued?
151
00:09:45,918 --> 00:09:46,961
Good God!
152
00:09:47,044 --> 00:09:48,796
Tell Evans to send me
153
00:09:48,963 --> 00:09:51,006
someone who succeeds, it’s important!
154
00:09:51,173 --> 00:09:52,258
Come on ! Get out.
155
00:09:53,133 --> 00:09:54,176
It's important!
156
00:10:02,059 --> 00:10:03,310
He yelled at you.
157
00:10:03,435 --> 00:10:04,520
Did he scream?
158
00:10:05,104 --> 00:10:06,689
What a rude character!
159
00:10:06,855 --> 00:10:07,940
It's my fault.
160
00:10:08,107 --> 00:10:11,694
You had stage fright, and he had the knack
to martyr his loyal supporters.
161
00:10:11,860 --> 00:10:13,988
It's not him, it's me.
It's...
162
00:10:14,154 --> 00:10:15,197
He's a man.
163
00:10:15,447 --> 00:10:16,865
He's like the others.
164
00:10:18,033 --> 00:10:19,243
Come on, come on.
165
00:10:20,744 --> 00:10:21,787
My dear.
166
00:10:21,870 --> 00:10:23,789
The War Cabinet is convened.
167
00:10:24,498 --> 00:10:26,709
That damn cat is still under the bed.
168
00:10:27,668 --> 00:10:30,379
Can I tell you something essential?
169
00:10:33,966 --> 00:10:37,469
Recently I noticed
a deterioration in your manners.
170
00:10:37,845 --> 00:10:39,555
You are less lovable.
171
00:10:40,472 --> 00:10:42,391
You have become rough,
172
00:10:42,850 --> 00:10:44,810
sarcastic, bossy and rude.
173
00:10:44,977 --> 00:10:46,979
Is this about the secretary?
174
00:10:47,688 --> 00:10:50,774
- If you become Prime Minister...
- Nothing is certain.
175
00:10:50,941 --> 00:10:53,736
I don't want you to be unloved.
176
00:10:53,902 --> 00:10:55,821
More than I already am.
177
00:10:56,864 --> 00:10:59,450
My darling, you're about to
178
00:10:59,617 --> 00:11:03,203
to have immense power,
that only surpasses that of the king,
179
00:11:03,370 --> 00:11:06,165
so you have to try
to be more kind.
180
00:11:07,333 --> 00:11:08,959
And if possible, calm.
181
00:11:13,088 --> 00:11:16,842
I want people to love you
and respect you, as much as I do.
182
00:11:26,268 --> 00:11:27,853
Telegram for Mr. Churchill.
183
00:12:01,470 --> 00:12:04,098
The German army invaded
Holland and Belgium
184
00:12:04,264 --> 00:12:05,849
this morning by land...
185
00:12:06,392 --> 00:12:07,434
You have a telegram.
186
00:12:09,687 --> 00:12:12,690
The troops of the Netherlands
still resist.
187
00:12:13,691 --> 00:12:17,111
An appeal has been launched to allied countries...
188
00:12:17,778 --> 00:12:18,821
It comes from the Palace.
189
00:12:19,113 --> 00:12:22,449
...and the allied troops
are preparing to support them.
190
00:12:23,617 --> 00:12:27,162
A hundred combat planes
flew over Brussels,
191
00:12:27,329 --> 00:12:31,375
and we announce
that the first air raids
192
00:12:31,583 --> 00:12:34,878
caused hundreds of victims
193
00:12:35,587 --> 00:12:37,881
and destroyed several buildings.
194
00:12:46,306 --> 00:12:47,349
Thank you.
195
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:49,601
Miss...
196
00:12:50,102 --> 00:12:51,186
Layton.
197
00:12:54,398 --> 00:12:55,983
- You're shaking.
- You too.
198
00:12:56,150 --> 00:12:58,610
You, impatient, me, afraid.
199
00:12:59,945 --> 00:13:01,822
You've been hoping for this for years.
200
00:13:01,989 --> 00:13:05,284
No, always!
But do the people want me?
201
00:13:05,451 --> 00:13:07,661
Above all, you will have to convince the party.
202
00:13:07,870 --> 00:13:10,664
I am named
because the boat is sinking.
203
00:13:10,873 --> 00:13:13,375
It's not a gift,
it's revenge.
204
00:13:13,542 --> 00:13:15,878
Show them your qualities.
Your courage.
205
00:13:16,044 --> 00:13:17,880
- My mistakes.
- Your humility.
206
00:13:18,046 --> 00:13:20,215
- My iron will.
- Your humor.
207
00:13:20,340 --> 00:13:21,425
Very funny.
208
00:13:24,428 --> 00:13:25,637
- Come on.
- Come on ?
209
00:13:25,929 --> 00:13:27,431
- Be...
- Be what?
210
00:13:28,348 --> 00:13:29,516
Yourself.
211
00:13:32,311 --> 00:13:33,520
Myself.
212
00:13:37,232 --> 00:13:39,401
Which me should I
213
00:13:40,569 --> 00:13:41,653
be today?
214
00:13:43,489 --> 00:13:45,866
It would have been necessary
having power when young,
215
00:13:46,033 --> 00:13:49,578
while we had a sharp mind
and vigorous body.
216
00:13:49,787 --> 00:13:52,498
I'll join you, come on.
217
00:13:53,332 --> 00:13:55,542
When youth leaves us,
218
00:13:56,168 --> 00:13:58,629
may wisdom replace it.
219
00:14:01,423 --> 00:14:03,342
FOR DAD, WITH LOVE FROM DIANA, RANDOLPH,
SARAH, MARY, CHRISTMAS 1927
220
00:14:49,721 --> 00:14:52,015
It doesn't feel like we're at war.
221
00:14:54,768 --> 00:14:57,229
Do you know
that I never took the bus?
222
00:14:58,188 --> 00:14:59,231
Pardon ?
223
00:14:59,731 --> 00:15:01,942
I have never bought bread.
224
00:15:03,443 --> 00:15:05,946
I think I would know
cook an egg,
225
00:15:06,113 --> 00:15:08,490
only because
I've seen others do it.
226
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,870
The only time I tried
to take the metro,
227
00:15:13,078 --> 00:15:15,122
it was during
the general strike of 1926.
228
00:15:15,330 --> 00:15:18,250
Clemmie dropped me off
at South Kensington station,
229
00:15:18,417 --> 00:15:20,878
I walked in and got lost.
230
00:15:21,712 --> 00:15:23,338
I came out straight away.
231
00:15:23,714 --> 00:15:25,048
It was terrible.
232
00:15:26,842 --> 00:15:29,219
Why not Halifax?
I prefer it.
233
00:15:29,386 --> 00:15:31,096
I wanted Halifax.
234
00:15:31,263 --> 00:15:32,723
The Lords wanted Halifax.
235
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,101
Maybe Halifax wanted Halifax.
236
00:15:36,518 --> 00:15:38,729
In this case, why am I being forced
237
00:15:38,896 --> 00:15:40,522
to summon Churchill?
238
00:15:40,772 --> 00:15:45,027
He is the only member of our party
which has the support of the opposition.
239
00:15:45,652 --> 00:15:48,739
His record is a succession
of disasters.
240
00:15:49,281 --> 00:15:51,742
The Dardanelles, 25,000 dead,
241
00:15:51,867 --> 00:15:54,244
our policy in India,
the civil war in Russia,
242
00:15:54,578 --> 00:15:55,871
the gold standard...
243
00:15:57,456 --> 00:15:59,583
abdication, and now,
244
00:16:00,417 --> 00:16:02,836
the episode in Norway.
How many, 1,800 men?
245
00:16:03,045 --> 00:16:05,505
An aircraft carrier, two cruisers,
246
00:16:05,672 --> 00:16:07,799
seven destroyers and one submarine.
247
00:16:08,008 --> 00:16:09,927
Winston lacks judgment.
248
00:16:10,135 --> 00:16:11,303
He was right about Hitler.
249
00:16:11,470 --> 00:16:14,264
A broken watch
gives the correct time twice a day.
250
00:16:18,769 --> 00:16:21,063
The First Lord of the Admiralty
Mr. Winston Churchill.
251
00:16:21,438 --> 00:16:22,481
In advance.
252
00:16:22,564 --> 00:16:23,815
Enthusiastic.
253
00:16:28,028 --> 00:16:30,030
I accept your resignation,
254
00:16:30,948 --> 00:16:33,533
but know that I think
255
00:16:33,992 --> 00:16:35,869
that you were treated cruelly.
256
00:16:37,704 --> 00:16:39,247
Thank you, Your Majesty.
257
00:16:43,585 --> 00:16:44,711
This way, sir.
258
00:17:23,333 --> 00:17:25,919
- Your Majesty.
- Mr. Churchill.
259
00:17:27,045 --> 00:17:28,547
I think you know
260
00:17:30,632 --> 00:17:32,592
why I brought you here.
261
00:17:33,093 --> 00:17:36,096
Sir,
I don't have the slightest idea.
262
00:17:40,392 --> 00:17:43,145
It is my duty to invite you
263
00:17:43,311 --> 00:17:47,274
to accept the position
as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
264
00:17:48,316 --> 00:17:50,193
Do you accept
to form a government?
265
00:17:51,278 --> 00:17:52,779
I accept.
266
00:17:52,946 --> 00:17:53,989
Very good.
267
00:18:09,755 --> 00:18:11,214
It was quite easy.
268
00:18:12,299 --> 00:18:13,717
Yes, indeed.
269
00:18:18,555 --> 00:18:22,559
I think we will have to
meet us regularly.
270
00:18:23,185 --> 00:18:25,187
Once a week, I'm afraid.
271
00:18:27,814 --> 00:18:29,274
What do you say about Monday?
272
00:18:30,358 --> 00:18:32,611
I will try to make myself available
273
00:18:32,986 --> 00:18:34,404
- Monday.
- 4 p.m.?
274
00:18:34,613 --> 00:18:36,156
It's my nap time.
275
00:18:38,450 --> 00:18:40,410
Is this allowed?
276
00:18:41,036 --> 00:18:43,663
No, but necessary.
I work late.
277
00:18:44,164 --> 00:18:45,999
In this case, lunch time?
278
00:18:46,500 --> 00:18:47,626
Lunch?
279
00:18:48,668 --> 00:18:49,711
Monday?
280
00:18:53,256 --> 00:18:56,134
- Your Majesty.
- Mr. Prime Minister.
281
00:19:26,873 --> 00:19:27,999
Good evening, gentlemen.
282
00:19:28,250 --> 00:19:30,001
Welcome to 10 Downing St.
283
00:19:30,127 --> 00:19:31,169
Thank you, sir.
284
00:19:31,837 --> 00:19:33,797
- What do you plan to do?
- Me ?
285
00:19:34,464 --> 00:19:36,633
Drink a glass of Pol Roger.
286
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:37,843
See you soon.
287
00:19:38,426 --> 00:19:39,845
You will have your photos.
288
00:19:40,137 --> 00:19:42,222
- Mr. Prime Minister.
-Anthony.
289
00:19:42,681 --> 00:19:43,932
How is the king?
290
00:19:44,724 --> 00:19:45,851
He is worried.
291
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,354
He never forgave me
to have approved
292
00:19:50,021 --> 00:19:52,983
his brother's wedding
with Wallis Simpson.
293
00:19:53,358 --> 00:19:55,318
You will see it
only once a week.
294
00:19:55,443 --> 00:19:59,489
You would like to be taken away
a tooth once a week?
295
00:20:00,407 --> 00:20:02,576
Composition of your War Cabinet.
296
00:20:03,285 --> 00:20:04,661
Who should sit there?
297
00:20:05,495 --> 00:20:07,330
Chamberlain, naturally.
298
00:20:09,374 --> 00:20:11,877
Our Reverend Holy Fox.
299
00:20:12,169 --> 00:20:13,211
Halifax.
300
00:20:14,546 --> 00:20:16,381
Do you keep your enemies close?
301
00:20:16,506 --> 00:20:17,799
Not only that.
302
00:20:17,966 --> 00:20:20,760
If I don't name them,
the party fires me.
303
00:20:21,178 --> 00:20:24,139
And the lamb in lamb's clothing, Attlee.
304
00:20:24,848 --> 00:20:26,892
Come, dad, everyone is waiting.
305
00:20:27,058 --> 00:20:29,728
I'll be there in a moment,
my treasure.
306
00:20:31,021 --> 00:20:34,482
They say that before you,
Lord Halifax was offered the position.
307
00:20:34,691 --> 00:20:36,193
I doubt it.
308
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,737
Halifax would never have declined,
309
00:20:39,321 --> 00:20:41,406
he is the 4th son of an earl.
310
00:20:42,032 --> 00:20:43,450
A 4th son declines nothing.
311
00:20:45,452 --> 00:20:48,830
I wish this post
arrives in better times.
312
00:20:49,956 --> 00:20:51,458
Your task is immense.
313
00:20:51,625 --> 00:20:54,002
I hope it's not too late.
314
00:20:54,586 --> 00:20:57,130
But I fear that is not the case.
315
00:20:58,423 --> 00:21:00,383
We can only do the best.
316
00:21:04,429 --> 00:21:06,848
God in heaven, what a horrifying vision!
317
00:21:07,015 --> 00:21:09,267
- Let's toast!
- Yes, a speech.
318
00:21:10,101 --> 00:21:11,144
Mom.
319
00:21:15,023 --> 00:21:16,441
My dear husband.
320
00:21:18,235 --> 00:21:21,947
Do you know that on the eve of our wedding,
I almost retracted?
321
00:21:22,113 --> 00:21:25,283
But having already broken up
with two fiancés at 21,
322
00:21:25,450 --> 00:21:27,786
I risked passing
for a deserter.
323
00:21:28,411 --> 00:21:30,580
It would have been frowned upon
to reject a third.
324
00:21:31,456 --> 00:21:32,582
Dad was lucky.
325
00:21:32,791 --> 00:21:34,751
But the real reason for my reservation,
326
00:21:34,918 --> 00:21:36,211
that's what I knew,
327
00:21:36,836 --> 00:21:37,879
even at the time,
328
00:21:38,338 --> 00:21:40,674
that he would prioritize his public life.
329
00:21:42,509 --> 00:21:46,012
I found it awful to spend my life
relegated to the background.
330
00:21:46,972 --> 00:21:48,765
Yet this is what happened.
331
00:21:49,140 --> 00:21:51,851
In due time,
our children had to accept
332
00:21:52,018 --> 00:21:53,311
this state of affairs, too.
333
00:21:56,356 --> 00:21:59,526
We all agreed,
each in our own way.
334
00:22:02,821 --> 00:22:04,281
And here is today,
335
00:22:04,906 --> 00:22:07,284
we receive our reward.
336
00:22:08,493 --> 00:22:13,164
Proof that our little sacrifice
served a nobler cause.
337
00:22:14,791 --> 00:22:16,626
I announce to you that your father,
338
00:22:17,544 --> 00:22:19,504
my beloved husband,
339
00:22:20,422 --> 00:22:21,798
is Prime Minister.
340
00:22:22,632 --> 00:22:23,717
To the Prime Minister!
341
00:22:24,467 --> 00:22:25,927
I make a wish.
342
00:22:28,638 --> 00:22:30,807
Let's not screw it up!
343
00:22:31,433 --> 00:22:33,018
Let's not screw it up!
344
00:22:34,477 --> 00:22:36,438
Belgium was a ruse.
345
00:22:36,563 --> 00:22:39,607
They entered France
through the Ardennes.
346
00:22:39,816 --> 00:22:42,360
They crossed the Meuse
in less than 24 hours.
347
00:22:42,485 --> 00:22:45,572
No one crosses the Meuse in 24 hours.
Apparently the Germans did it.
348
00:22:45,655 --> 00:22:47,115
MAY 10
349
00:22:47,282 --> 00:22:48,908
MAY 13
350
00:23:20,899 --> 00:23:22,901
Look at Chamberlain's handkerchief.
351
00:23:23,068 --> 00:23:26,780
If he waves it after the speech
of Churchill, we cheer him.
352
00:23:28,198 --> 00:23:30,492
Otherwise, we remain silent.
353
00:23:31,659 --> 00:23:33,578
Mr. Prime Minister.
354
00:23:44,297 --> 00:23:45,590
Here we go.
355
00:23:48,593 --> 00:23:50,303
Mr. President of the House,
356
00:23:51,054 --> 00:23:54,182
last Friday evening,
357
00:23:54,516 --> 00:23:57,685
His Majesty entrusted me with the mission
358
00:23:57,936 --> 00:24:00,647
to form a new government.
359
00:24:01,898 --> 00:24:04,901
It was the wish,
the clearly expressed will
360
00:24:05,068 --> 00:24:07,821
of Parliament and the nation,
361
00:24:08,029 --> 00:24:13,076
that it rests on the bases
as wide as possible
362
00:24:13,535 --> 00:24:15,995
and that it includes all parties.
363
00:24:18,790 --> 00:24:19,833
A War Cabinet
364
00:24:19,916 --> 00:24:21,501
was summoned...
365
00:24:23,253 --> 00:24:24,295
No.
366
00:24:24,754 --> 00:24:25,880
Correct.
367
00:24:26,131 --> 00:24:27,549
...was formed.
368
00:24:29,551 --> 00:24:30,593
Shape.
369
00:24:30,969 --> 00:24:32,011
A War Cabinet
370
00:24:32,137 --> 00:24:35,140
was formed,
it has 5 members,
371
00:24:35,306 --> 00:24:36,349
which represent,
372
00:24:36,933 --> 00:24:38,768
with the opposition parties,
373
00:24:39,144 --> 00:24:40,728
national unity.
374
00:24:43,398 --> 00:24:44,441
Read.
375
00:24:45,191 --> 00:24:47,068
"The three party leaders
agreed to serve
376
00:24:47,235 --> 00:24:51,072
in the War Cabinet,
or to the highest offices of state."
377
00:24:51,406 --> 00:24:53,741
This agreement having been concluded,
378
00:24:54,284 --> 00:24:56,661
I now invite the House,
379
00:24:56,786 --> 00:24:59,497
by the resolution presented in my name,
380
00:25:00,206 --> 00:25:03,251
to express approval
381
00:25:04,002 --> 00:25:05,336
and to vote
382
00:25:05,879 --> 00:25:08,715
his confidence in the new government.
383
00:25:11,759 --> 00:25:12,886
Miss !
384
00:25:13,678 --> 00:25:16,848
I go out in Adam's outfit.
385
00:25:23,354 --> 00:25:24,689
Let's not forget
386
00:25:25,482 --> 00:25:26,900
that we are
387
00:25:27,317 --> 00:25:31,863
at the first stage of one of the greatest
battles of history,
388
00:25:32,822 --> 00:25:34,115
and that many
389
00:25:34,282 --> 00:25:37,285
preparations must be made
in the country.
390
00:25:38,495 --> 00:25:40,997
Mr. President, I assume my task
391
00:25:41,164 --> 00:25:44,167
with enthusiasm and hope,
392
00:25:44,709 --> 00:25:46,211
and I will stand in the House,
393
00:25:46,794 --> 00:25:49,380
the same language
and to my government colleagues.
394
00:25:50,298 --> 00:25:53,301
I have nothing to offer
395
00:25:53,551 --> 00:25:57,263
only blood, toil, tears and...
396
00:25:57,430 --> 00:25:58,473
sweat.
397
00:26:00,808 --> 00:26:04,604
We have before us
a very big test.
398
00:26:05,688 --> 00:26:07,190
We have before us
399
00:26:07,690 --> 00:26:10,026
many months of struggle
400
00:26:10,193 --> 00:26:11,528
and suffering.
401
00:26:12,278 --> 00:26:15,448
You ask me
what is our policy?
402
00:26:16,616 --> 00:26:18,952
I answer you, it's waging war
403
00:26:19,410 --> 00:26:22,539
on sea, on land, and in the air,
404
00:26:22,705 --> 00:26:24,541
by all means
405
00:26:24,874 --> 00:26:29,420
and with all the force
that God can give us.
406
00:26:30,088 --> 00:26:31,297
Make war
407
00:26:32,715 --> 00:26:35,468
against an odious tyranny,
408
00:26:35,927 --> 00:26:40,848
peerless in the dark and dreary
catalog of human crimes.
409
00:26:41,641 --> 00:26:44,060
There it is, our policy.
410
00:26:44,936 --> 00:26:47,855
You ask me what is our goal?
411
00:26:48,523 --> 00:26:51,568
I will answer you in one word.
412
00:26:52,944 --> 00:26:54,070
Victory!
413
00:26:54,737 --> 00:26:57,073
Victory at all costs.
414
00:26:57,532 --> 00:27:00,827
Victory, despite all terror.
415
00:27:01,202 --> 00:27:02,245
Victory,
416
00:27:02,328 --> 00:27:06,124
some long and difficult
whatever the road might be.
417
00:27:06,291 --> 00:27:08,793
Because without victory,
418
00:27:09,460 --> 00:27:12,297
there is no survival.
419
00:27:38,823 --> 00:27:40,033
What contempt!
420
00:27:40,950 --> 00:27:42,910
It's better than nothing.
421
00:27:43,661 --> 00:27:44,704
Chips.
422
00:27:53,504 --> 00:27:56,591
“Our policy is to wage war.
423
00:27:56,841 --> 00:27:58,259
At all costs.”
424
00:27:58,676 --> 00:28:00,053
“Survival point”?
425
00:28:00,345 --> 00:28:04,390
God, he can't even
to pronounce the word peace,
426
00:28:04,557 --> 00:28:06,976
so let's not talk about negotiations.
427
00:28:07,977 --> 00:28:12,023
I think with fear that I will never see again
my country will never be at peace.
428
00:28:15,818 --> 00:28:17,153
I have cancer.
429
00:28:22,033 --> 00:28:23,201
Neville...
430
00:28:28,956 --> 00:28:31,209
Winston must be removed.
431
00:28:31,834 --> 00:28:33,211
If we pushed him to declare
432
00:28:33,378 --> 00:28:36,339
that he refuses to consider
peace with Germany,
433
00:28:36,506 --> 00:28:39,092
this would give us
a reason for resignation.
434
00:28:40,635 --> 00:28:42,804
This would result in a motion of censure.
435
00:28:43,221 --> 00:28:46,766
The party should support you,
you are the leader.
436
00:28:47,392 --> 00:28:48,434
He would be finished.
437
00:28:48,893 --> 00:28:51,729
And you would accept
to be Prime Minister.
438
00:28:55,024 --> 00:28:56,901
Once Winston is out of the way, who knows?
439
00:28:57,026 --> 00:28:59,320
But what matters, Neville,
440
00:28:59,487 --> 00:29:02,615
is that your policy
be put forward.
441
00:29:03,074 --> 00:29:05,618
Peace and protection of our nation.
442
00:29:05,952 --> 00:29:07,036
Officially.
443
00:29:07,412 --> 00:29:08,496
Pardon ?
444
00:29:08,579 --> 00:29:11,499
He must officially declare
his refusal to engage
445
00:29:11,666 --> 00:29:13,418
peace talks.
446
00:29:14,001 --> 00:29:15,962
It has to be written.
447
00:29:55,710 --> 00:29:56,753
THANKS.
448
00:29:58,629 --> 00:30:00,131
- Miss Layton.
- Good morning.
449
00:30:00,339 --> 00:30:01,507
Follow me.
450
00:30:15,396 --> 00:30:16,439
Good morning.
451
00:30:16,522 --> 00:30:17,565
Thank you, sir.
452
00:30:19,484 --> 00:30:20,526
Thank you, ma'am.
453
00:30:23,196 --> 00:30:24,572
What's going on here?
454
00:30:24,739 --> 00:30:25,948
The information is reserved
455
00:30:26,073 --> 00:30:27,366
to others than you.
456
00:30:27,533 --> 00:30:28,576
The toilets?
457
00:30:28,659 --> 00:30:30,328
For the Prime Minister.
458
00:30:30,828 --> 00:30:34,332
The dormitory, just in case
you would miss the last train.
459
00:30:39,128 --> 00:30:40,797
This is the map room.
460
00:30:41,714 --> 00:30:42,799
Forbidden to women.
461
00:30:43,132 --> 00:30:44,175
Which ministry is it?
462
00:30:44,300 --> 00:30:47,428
Any indiscretion,
committed in this place or elsewhere,
463
00:30:47,595 --> 00:30:50,056
about what's going on here,
is an offense
464
00:30:50,223 --> 00:30:53,392
punishable by two years
forced labor.
465
00:30:54,352 --> 00:30:55,394
Is it clear?
466
00:30:55,478 --> 00:30:56,521
Crystal clear.
467
00:30:56,896 --> 00:30:57,939
GOOD.
468
00:30:59,315 --> 00:31:01,067
This is the War Cabinet room.
469
00:31:01,234 --> 00:31:02,276
Prohibited.
470
00:31:04,362 --> 00:31:06,239
I'm not trying to bully you,
471
00:31:07,782 --> 00:31:08,950
This is the rule.
472
00:31:10,618 --> 00:31:12,578
This is the typists' room.
473
00:31:13,037 --> 00:31:14,664
- Hello Sir.
- Ladies.
474
00:31:16,999 --> 00:31:18,042
There, it's you.
475
00:31:26,342 --> 00:31:28,553
Belgium and Holland
will capitulate.
476
00:31:28,970 --> 00:31:30,054
And the French?
477
00:31:30,179 --> 00:31:34,225
The 9th Army, composed
of 200,000 men, capitulated.
478
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:35,643
All the soldiers?
479
00:31:35,768 --> 00:31:36,853
They capitulated,
480
00:31:37,061 --> 00:31:39,105
deserted, a real rout.
481
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,066
Our land forces,
approximately 300,000 men,
482
00:31:42,233 --> 00:31:43,651
retreat.
483
00:31:43,818 --> 00:31:45,987
Our troops have air support?
484
00:31:46,112 --> 00:31:47,697
The Luftwaffe controls the skies.
485
00:31:48,072 --> 00:31:50,616
We have too few planes
to counter them.
486
00:31:50,783 --> 00:31:54,620
There is no point sending
our precious fighter planes in France.
487
00:31:55,872 --> 00:31:57,415
Let's keep them to defend ourselves.
488
00:31:57,957 --> 00:32:01,711
And the Royal Navy
twiddling his thumbs, neutralized,
489
00:32:02,003 --> 00:32:03,045
useless.
490
00:32:03,129 --> 00:32:05,423
As soon as our fleets approach the enemy,
491
00:32:05,590 --> 00:32:08,092
they wipe
scathing aerial attacks.
492
00:32:09,260 --> 00:32:11,470
He advances at a devastating pace.
493
00:32:12,179 --> 00:32:14,891
The panzers
are progressing rapidly towards the west.
494
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,020
They will have to stop
to refuel.
495
00:32:19,145 --> 00:32:20,813
We are no longer in 1918.
496
00:32:20,897 --> 00:32:21,939
They can
497
00:32:22,064 --> 00:32:24,108
refuel at a gas station.
498
00:32:24,984 --> 00:32:26,235
A gas station?
499
00:32:26,611 --> 00:32:28,613
The way to Paris is open.
500
00:32:29,322 --> 00:32:31,407
7 million refugees
are on the roads.
501
00:32:33,409 --> 00:32:37,163
Western Europe should
collapse within a few days.
502
00:32:37,788 --> 00:32:39,540
Should we warn the people?
503
00:32:46,130 --> 00:32:47,214
Not yet.
504
00:32:48,257 --> 00:32:50,927
Let's encourage our old friends first
505
00:32:51,093 --> 00:32:53,888
to prove
of heroic resistance.
506
00:32:54,555 --> 00:32:57,183
France must be saved.
507
00:34:02,915 --> 00:34:04,083
Mr. Prime Minister.
508
00:34:30,568 --> 00:34:33,195
Maybe in English,
Mr. Prime Minister.
509
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:40,202
We survived
to crises in the past,
510
00:34:40,745 --> 00:34:43,539
I'm sure
that we will survive this one.
511
00:34:44,081 --> 00:34:46,876
What is your counterattack plan?
512
00:34:48,711 --> 00:34:50,004
There is no plan.
513
00:34:54,258 --> 00:34:56,302
But you must fight back.
514
00:34:57,261 --> 00:34:58,888
It has to be.
515
00:35:07,271 --> 00:35:09,732
I cannot believe that this...
516
00:35:11,567 --> 00:35:14,612
panzer breakthrough
or a real invasion.
517
00:35:14,987 --> 00:35:16,447
Not a real invasion?
518
00:35:17,656 --> 00:35:21,619
If the tanks are not supported
by infantry units,
519
00:35:21,786 --> 00:35:22,870
these are
520
00:35:23,954 --> 00:35:25,289
small flags
521
00:35:25,831 --> 00:35:26,957
planted on a map.
522
00:35:27,333 --> 00:35:30,252
Because tank crews
are not autonomous.
523
00:35:31,337 --> 00:35:36,342
I refuse to consider this attack
spectacular German tanks
524
00:35:36,842 --> 00:35:38,594
like a real invasion.
525
00:35:42,264 --> 00:35:43,766
He's delirious.
526
00:35:44,475 --> 00:35:46,018
He's completely delirious.
527
00:35:46,352 --> 00:35:47,561
These English...
528
00:35:51,190 --> 00:35:52,233
He's an actor,
529
00:35:52,483 --> 00:35:54,735
he is in love with the sound of her voice.
530
00:35:54,902 --> 00:35:56,445
I love listening to it.
531
00:35:57,196 --> 00:35:59,323
But you should never
follow his advice.
532
00:35:59,824 --> 00:36:01,325
He has 100 ideas a day.
533
00:36:02,034 --> 00:36:03,369
4 are good,
534
00:36:03,619 --> 00:36:05,746
the other 96 are very dangerous.
535
00:36:05,913 --> 00:36:07,248
His father was like that.
536
00:36:07,373 --> 00:36:09,166
A great speaker, but...
537
00:36:09,375 --> 00:36:11,460
Then syphilis drove him crazy.
538
00:36:11,669 --> 00:36:14,755
Nations suffer
of the sins of their fathers.
539
00:36:14,922 --> 00:36:16,132
My opinion?
540
00:36:16,298 --> 00:36:18,843
At this pivotal moment for the Empire,
541
00:36:20,261 --> 00:36:22,513
we have a drunk on the stand.
542
00:36:22,721 --> 00:36:24,557
A scotch when you wake up,
543
00:36:25,641 --> 00:36:27,893
a bottle of champagne
at lunch,
544
00:36:28,060 --> 00:36:29,645
and another at dinner.
545
00:36:30,354 --> 00:36:32,940
Cognac and port until dawn.
546
00:36:33,774 --> 00:36:36,152
I wouldn't lend him my bicycle.
547
00:36:36,318 --> 00:36:38,904
He is a conservative
converted to liberals,
548
00:36:39,071 --> 00:36:41,490
who attacks us for 10 years,
549
00:36:41,699 --> 00:36:43,701
then returns to the conservatives
550
00:36:43,951 --> 00:36:45,703
when it suits him.
551
00:36:45,786 --> 00:36:46,829
Sorry,
552
00:36:46,912 --> 00:36:48,747
but he defends a single interest,
553
00:36:48,914 --> 00:36:49,957
his.
554
00:36:50,833 --> 00:36:53,169
We may have to
replace him, Bertie.
555
00:36:54,712 --> 00:36:55,754
Replace it?
556
00:36:56,422 --> 00:36:58,090
We must make peace
557
00:36:58,674 --> 00:37:00,926
so that our sons and daughters
558
00:37:01,093 --> 00:37:04,930
come out of this crisis
with a roof over their heads.
559
00:37:06,682 --> 00:37:09,226
This is what is spoken
like a Prime Minister.
560
00:37:14,481 --> 00:37:16,358
MAY 13
561
00:37:16,442 --> 00:37:18,319
MAY 19
562
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,160
The V for victory.
563
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,206
You must answer
to the Lord of the Privy Seal.
564
00:37:33,834 --> 00:37:35,628
Tell the Lord of the Privy Seal,
565
00:37:35,794 --> 00:37:37,546
that I'm on my private bucket
566
00:37:38,631 --> 00:37:41,967
and that I treat
one shit at a time.
567
00:37:49,308 --> 00:37:51,310
The speech is broadcast this evening,
568
00:37:51,810 --> 00:37:53,520
don't spare me, Anthony.
569
00:37:53,687 --> 00:37:54,730
Be frank.
570
00:38:03,530 --> 00:38:04,782
I don't think so.
571
00:38:05,866 --> 00:38:07,076
That's to say ?
572
00:38:07,409 --> 00:38:09,954
You suggest we win.
573
00:38:10,371 --> 00:38:11,413
This is not true.
574
00:38:12,248 --> 00:38:13,666
No, but...
575
00:38:14,541 --> 00:38:16,085
it will inspire them.
576
00:38:16,252 --> 00:38:18,212
- Winston, I know...
-Anthony.
577
00:38:18,921 --> 00:38:21,006
I will instill in them
578
00:38:21,257 --> 00:38:25,970
a state of mind
which they do not know they possess.
579
00:38:26,220 --> 00:38:27,972
You asked me for my opinion.
580
00:38:28,889 --> 00:38:30,224
I warn you.
581
00:38:32,893 --> 00:38:33,936
Cicero.
582
00:38:37,064 --> 00:38:38,107
Cicero!
583
00:38:40,901 --> 00:38:43,237
"If fortune is against you...
584
00:38:44,405 --> 00:38:45,447
etc."
585
00:38:55,082 --> 00:38:57,459
Where is he?
I left it there.
586
00:38:58,377 --> 00:38:59,420
Clemmie!
587
00:39:00,671 --> 00:39:02,798
Cat ! Clemmie!
588
00:39:02,965 --> 00:39:04,550
We can't honor our bills.
589
00:39:04,758 --> 00:39:07,469
My work by Cicero, have you put it away?
590
00:39:07,678 --> 00:39:08,721
Do you hear?
591
00:39:08,804 --> 00:39:10,764
- What then?
- We're broke.
592
00:39:12,182 --> 00:39:13,267
Out !
593
00:39:13,350 --> 00:39:15,352
Come on, everyone out.
594
00:39:16,895 --> 00:39:18,480
I don't dare write checks anymore.
595
00:39:19,857 --> 00:39:21,275
I'm going to ration myself.
596
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,319
Only four cigars a day.
597
00:39:24,153 --> 00:39:25,696
You are unbearable!
598
00:39:30,367 --> 00:39:31,618
Anything else?
599
00:39:32,578 --> 00:39:34,621
Yes, my love for you.
600
00:39:35,664 --> 00:39:37,207
Have you already drunk this morning?
601
00:39:39,293 --> 00:39:41,170
I see you now,
602
00:39:42,046 --> 00:39:44,173
as I saw you the first time,
603
00:39:44,923 --> 00:39:46,925
in 1904.
604
00:39:47,301 --> 00:39:49,636
I was left speechless.
605
00:39:49,803 --> 00:39:52,389
I had to be beautiful
to accomplish this miracle.
606
00:39:53,015 --> 00:39:55,184
We didn't see each other again
only after four years.
607
00:39:55,392 --> 00:39:57,019
They passed in a flash.
608
00:39:57,186 --> 00:39:58,479
You were very courted.
609
00:39:58,854 --> 00:40:02,691
Your faithful servant, Sidney Peel.
610
00:40:02,900 --> 00:40:05,152
- A brilliant man.
-Lionel Earle.
611
00:40:05,694 --> 00:40:06,737
An admirable dancer.
612
00:40:08,113 --> 00:40:10,699
Then one evening, at Lady St Helier's,
613
00:40:11,033 --> 00:40:12,618
who arrived?
614
00:40:13,911 --> 00:40:14,953
Pig.
615
00:40:17,498 --> 00:40:18,665
Himself.
616
00:40:29,885 --> 00:40:31,220
Are we old men?
617
00:40:32,429 --> 00:40:33,555
You, yes.
618
00:40:34,306 --> 00:40:35,724
Camel!
619
00:40:41,021 --> 00:40:45,067
Would you allow me to read you
my speech this evening?
620
00:40:46,527 --> 00:40:49,196
Mr. Prime Minister,
the situation in France?
621
00:40:49,363 --> 00:40:51,323
Is it true
that we are retreating?
622
00:40:51,448 --> 00:40:53,283
Is France lost?
623
00:41:00,332 --> 00:41:04,503
The Archduchess's socks
Are they dry or very dry?
624
00:41:05,421 --> 00:41:07,381
Please sit here,
625
00:41:08,173 --> 00:41:09,842
at your desk.
626
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,012
Speak slowly and clearly.
627
00:41:15,180 --> 00:41:16,306
Into the microphone.
628
00:41:17,349 --> 00:41:18,392
Well,
629
00:41:18,809 --> 00:41:19,935
if you are ready,
630
00:41:20,477 --> 00:41:22,312
at 9 p.m. sharp,
631
00:41:22,479 --> 00:41:26,233
the red light will turn on,
we will be live in front of the nation.
632
00:41:28,068 --> 00:41:29,111
9 p.m.,
633
00:41:29,611 --> 00:41:30,654
red light,
634
00:41:32,197 --> 00:41:33,282
you start.
635
00:41:33,740 --> 00:41:34,783
Yes ?
636
00:41:35,159 --> 00:41:36,410
A moment.
637
00:41:44,168 --> 00:41:45,210
Mr. Prime Minister,
638
00:41:45,502 --> 00:41:46,879
are we ready?
639
00:41:49,173 --> 00:41:50,507
One more moment.
640
00:41:56,346 --> 00:41:57,848
We're going to be live.
641
00:41:58,015 --> 00:41:59,433
Just a moment, good God!
642
00:42:06,398 --> 00:42:07,441
And
643
00:42:07,524 --> 00:42:08,567
four,
644
00:42:08,984 --> 00:42:10,027
three,
645
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:11,403
two,
646
00:42:11,487 --> 00:42:12,529
one.
647
00:42:32,966 --> 00:42:34,134
I'm talking to you
648
00:42:34,927 --> 00:42:36,428
for the first time
649
00:42:36,595 --> 00:42:38,180
as Prime Minister,
650
00:42:38,931 --> 00:42:40,641
at a solemn hour
651
00:42:40,849 --> 00:42:43,227
of the existence of our country,
652
00:42:44,061 --> 00:42:45,521
of our Empire,
653
00:42:46,188 --> 00:42:47,564
of our allies,
654
00:42:48,273 --> 00:42:49,566
and above all,
655
00:42:50,275 --> 00:42:52,152
for the cause of freedom.
656
00:42:53,237 --> 00:42:54,988
A huge battle
657
00:42:55,155 --> 00:42:57,991
rages in France
and in Flanders.
658
00:43:00,452 --> 00:43:01,495
The Germans,
659
00:43:01,620 --> 00:43:04,414
thanks to the remarkable combined employment
660
00:43:04,790 --> 00:43:08,877
aerial bombardments
and heavily armed tanks,
661
00:43:09,253 --> 00:43:11,880
broke through the French defenses
662
00:43:12,089 --> 00:43:14,841
north of the Maginot line,
663
00:43:15,551 --> 00:43:18,554
and powerful armored columns
664
00:43:19,012 --> 00:43:21,265
now devastating the exposed countryside
665
00:43:22,266 --> 00:43:24,518
which, the first two days,
666
00:43:24,726 --> 00:43:27,980
remained defenseless.
However,
667
00:43:28,063 --> 00:43:29,481
THE FRENCH SAY
EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL
668
00:43:29,565 --> 00:43:33,068
I have unshakeable confidence
669
00:43:33,277 --> 00:43:36,363
in the French army
and in its leaders.
670
00:43:36,863 --> 00:43:40,200
Only a small part
of this splendid army
671
00:43:40,367 --> 00:43:42,869
has been heavily committed so far,
672
00:43:43,370 --> 00:43:46,456
and only a small part of France
673
00:43:46,582 --> 00:43:48,125
has so far been invaded.
674
00:43:48,834 --> 00:43:50,544
Side by side,
675
00:43:50,752 --> 00:43:53,422
the British people
and the French people
676
00:43:53,589 --> 00:43:54,715
have moved forward...
677
00:43:54,923 --> 00:43:55,966
Advanced?
678
00:43:57,676 --> 00:44:00,262
How dare he, damn it?
679
00:44:01,263 --> 00:44:05,559
... against the most infamous tyranny
and the most sickening
680
00:44:07,019 --> 00:44:11,189
who ever darkened and defiled
the pages of history.
681
00:44:11,940 --> 00:44:12,983
Now,
682
00:44:13,108 --> 00:44:15,736
a bond unites us all.
683
00:44:15,944 --> 00:44:18,155
The will to wage war
684
00:44:18,322 --> 00:44:20,449
until victory,
685
00:44:21,283 --> 00:44:23,619
and never submit to us
686
00:44:24,202 --> 00:44:26,747
neither to servitude nor to shame.
687
00:44:27,581 --> 00:44:29,041
Whatever the price,
688
00:44:30,459 --> 00:44:32,377
whatever the suffering,
689
00:44:33,211 --> 00:44:35,797
we must overcome,
690
00:44:36,214 --> 00:44:39,092
and we will overcome.
691
00:44:45,724 --> 00:44:47,017
Well done, sir.
692
00:45:54,501 --> 00:45:56,753
I thought you were wonderful.
693
00:45:57,212 --> 00:46:00,841
For ten years,
I was the only one to tell them the truth,
694
00:46:02,092 --> 00:46:03,468
until this evening.
695
00:46:05,137 --> 00:46:06,722
There is no progress.
696
00:46:09,057 --> 00:46:10,767
It's a debacle.
697
00:46:11,601 --> 00:46:13,687
We are in full retirement.
698
00:46:15,897 --> 00:46:19,276
But is this doing them a favor?
than deprive them of sleep
699
00:46:19,484 --> 00:46:21,278
and terrorize their children?
700
00:46:21,611 --> 00:46:23,155
Even if the worst happens?
701
00:46:23,321 --> 00:46:25,323
Precisely because it’s coming.
702
00:46:27,367 --> 00:46:29,286
There will be a time for the truth.
703
00:46:39,337 --> 00:46:40,797
Did you see that?
704
00:46:45,051 --> 00:46:46,553
What's so funny?
705
00:46:47,888 --> 00:46:49,389
Mr. Prime Minister?
706
00:46:49,765 --> 00:46:51,099
What is there?
707
00:46:52,726 --> 00:46:53,810
Maybe...
708
00:46:58,106 --> 00:47:01,318
I'm not sure
let you know but...
709
00:47:02,736 --> 00:47:05,405
Your way
to make the V for victory,
710
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:10,619
in working-class neighborhoods,
this gesture means something else.
711
00:47:10,786 --> 00:47:13,205
- What then?
- I can't say.
712
00:47:13,371 --> 00:47:15,749
I was captured by the Boers,
713
00:47:15,874 --> 00:47:18,668
I was a prisoner in South Africa.
714
00:47:18,877 --> 00:47:20,128
Fuck you,
715
00:47:21,546 --> 00:47:22,589
Sir.
716
00:47:23,340 --> 00:47:24,549
Kiss my ass ?
717
00:47:29,805 --> 00:47:31,765
In that sense, yes, sir.
718
00:47:33,266 --> 00:47:35,977
But if you turn your hand, it's okay.
719
00:47:37,938 --> 00:47:40,690
Millions of people
might be shocked.
720
00:47:40,816 --> 00:47:42,317
Absolutely.
721
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:46,863
Kiss my ass !
722
00:47:48,365 --> 00:47:49,574
Your Majesty.
723
00:47:50,075 --> 00:47:52,285
I won't bother you for long.
724
00:47:52,786 --> 00:47:54,788
I heard you on T.S.F.
725
00:47:56,081 --> 00:47:57,499
Was I intelligible?
726
00:47:58,750 --> 00:48:01,253
The people need to be guided,
727
00:48:01,628 --> 00:48:05,674
and not fooled or left to his own devices,
to form your opinion.
728
00:48:09,010 --> 00:48:10,387
GOOD.
729
00:48:10,804 --> 00:48:12,764
Will that be all, Your Majesty?
730
00:48:13,348 --> 00:48:15,642
Yes.
Goodbye, Mr. Prime Minister.
731
00:48:15,809 --> 00:48:16,977
Goodbye.
732
00:48:20,564 --> 00:48:24,526
I just got royally
tap on the fingers.
733
00:48:27,153 --> 00:48:28,280
MAY 19
734
00:48:28,363 --> 00:48:29,447
MAY 25
735
00:48:30,782 --> 00:48:35,120
Since 8 p.m. yesterday,
the Germans surrounded
736
00:48:35,287 --> 00:48:37,998
60 British divisions,
Belgian and French.
737
00:48:39,374 --> 00:48:41,918
Our forces, commanded by Lord Gort,
738
00:48:42,502 --> 00:48:45,130
retreat or attempt to do so,
towards the French coast,
739
00:48:45,297 --> 00:48:48,174
in Dunkirk, which is inaccessible.
740
00:48:48,341 --> 00:48:50,135
How many men are trapped?
741
00:48:50,510 --> 00:48:51,553
All.
742
00:48:52,178 --> 00:48:54,806
The entire professional army
of our country.
743
00:48:55,056 --> 00:48:57,350
And we have no bailout plan.
744
00:49:00,812 --> 00:49:03,189
General, are you saying
745
00:49:03,481 --> 00:49:07,569
that we will have lost
the entire British army
746
00:49:07,736 --> 00:49:09,154
in the next few days?
747
00:49:10,322 --> 00:49:11,364
That's correct.
748
00:49:12,073 --> 00:49:15,285
Germany is superior in every way
749
00:49:15,410 --> 00:49:17,412
and is only
80 km from the coast.
750
00:49:17,579 --> 00:49:18,914
They push us into the sea.
751
00:49:19,414 --> 00:49:23,168
No, the Germans
must not reach the sea.
752
00:49:23,710 --> 00:49:26,171
Not until we evacuate
753
00:49:26,338 --> 00:49:27,380
our men.
754
00:49:27,505 --> 00:49:28,715
Ismay, what do you say?
755
00:49:29,466 --> 00:49:31,676
As it stands, we have little hope
756
00:49:31,843 --> 00:49:34,304
to recover any of our soldiers.
757
00:49:36,056 --> 00:49:37,599
Not a single man?
758
00:49:40,268 --> 00:49:43,521
We can't
to be totally at their mercy.
759
00:49:43,688 --> 00:49:44,856
What are we going to do?
760
00:49:46,191 --> 00:49:47,275
Who answers?
761
00:49:48,401 --> 00:49:49,486
Come on, talk!
762
00:49:52,364 --> 00:49:54,991
We still have a garrison in Calais,
40 km to the west.
763
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,453
- How many are there?
- Around 4,000.
764
00:50:01,790 --> 00:50:03,625
It had to be said.
765
00:50:04,501 --> 00:50:05,752
Yes, so,
766
00:50:06,711 --> 00:50:07,796
we send them towards the east,
767
00:50:07,921 --> 00:50:10,298
fight the Germans
who are heading towards Dunkirk,
768
00:50:10,465 --> 00:50:11,883
to save time.
769
00:50:12,050 --> 00:50:15,136
We divert attention from the Nazis
from Dunkirk,
770
00:50:15,345 --> 00:50:18,348
as we proceed,
by sea,
771
00:50:18,515 --> 00:50:20,892
to the evacuation of our forces.
Is this possible?
772
00:50:21,101 --> 00:50:22,602
It would be a huge sacrifice.
773
00:50:22,811 --> 00:50:24,437
4,000 young men.
774
00:50:24,604 --> 00:50:27,649
To save 300,000.
775
00:50:27,941 --> 00:50:30,276
Who commands the Calais garrison?
776
00:50:30,443 --> 00:50:33,071
- Brigadier General Nicholson.
- Alright.
777
00:50:34,906 --> 00:50:37,742
Tell him he's absolutely vital
for our island
778
00:50:38,076 --> 00:50:43,373
that it attracts the enemy, its armored vehicles
and its bombers far from Dunkirk,
779
00:50:43,915 --> 00:50:45,792
let him arouse his anger...
780
00:50:48,003 --> 00:50:49,295
and he continues the fight,
781
00:50:51,047 --> 00:50:52,173
if necessary
782
00:50:56,261 --> 00:50:59,556
until the destruction of its garrison.
783
00:51:02,475 --> 00:51:04,060
It's suicide.
784
00:51:16,197 --> 00:51:17,323
Mr. Prime Minister,
785
00:51:18,324 --> 00:51:19,617
I have reservations.
786
00:51:20,493 --> 00:51:22,746
Who doesn't have one?
787
00:51:23,121 --> 00:51:26,958
This sacrifice is useless
when there is an alternative.
788
00:51:29,169 --> 00:51:30,211
Which ?
789
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,048
Italy offers itself as peace mediator
790
00:51:33,214 --> 00:51:34,966
between us and Germany.
791
00:51:35,175 --> 00:51:36,843
I replied that on condition
792
00:51:36,968 --> 00:51:39,554
that freedom and independence
of the Empire are assured,
793
00:51:39,721 --> 00:51:41,806
we would study any proposal.
794
00:51:41,973 --> 00:51:43,933
With Hitler
795
00:51:44,392 --> 00:51:46,728
who holds the handle of the whip.
796
00:51:46,895 --> 00:51:49,689
You really see it
honor his word?
797
00:51:49,981 --> 00:51:52,859
He would have every interest in doing so.
798
00:51:52,984 --> 00:51:54,611
The only thing to do,
799
00:51:54,778 --> 00:51:57,405
is to show this madman
800
00:51:57,572 --> 00:52:01,034
that he cannot conquer our island,
and for that, we need an army.
801
00:52:01,201 --> 00:52:04,329
Nicholson must prevent
the Germans to access the sea.
802
00:52:04,496 --> 00:52:05,663
Because first,
803
00:52:05,830 --> 00:52:09,209
we need to get our soldiers back
on this damn beach!
804
00:52:09,501 --> 00:52:11,461
I take responsibility for it.
805
00:52:11,628 --> 00:52:14,214
- Really ?
- Perfectly!
806
00:52:14,547 --> 00:52:16,174
It is for this reason
807
00:52:16,591 --> 00:52:18,551
that I occupy this seat!
808
00:52:21,805 --> 00:52:23,056
I know that before assuming
809
00:52:23,223 --> 00:52:25,892
responsibility
of the death of 4,000 men,
810
00:52:26,017 --> 00:52:27,143
you will want to explore
811
00:52:27,644 --> 00:52:28,895
all routes.
812
00:52:33,149 --> 00:52:34,234
How is that?
813
00:52:35,610 --> 00:52:38,488
What do you say about the principle
peace talks?
814
00:52:42,408 --> 00:52:44,369
Should we understand
815
00:52:44,702 --> 00:52:48,790
that you exclude
Is it just the idea of participating?
816
00:53:09,227 --> 00:53:14,566
I wish to speak
to the Viscount of Halifax and Mr. Chamberlain,
817
00:53:15,358 --> 00:53:16,401
in private.
818
00:53:17,610 --> 00:53:20,196
Give the order to the Calais garrison.
819
00:53:21,197 --> 00:53:23,283
Let me know when it's done.
820
00:53:23,491 --> 00:53:24,534
Break up.
821
00:53:27,078 --> 00:53:28,955
You too, come on, get out.
822
00:53:31,457 --> 00:53:32,500
Bridges!
823
00:53:32,667 --> 00:53:35,545
Come on, faster than that!
Out.
824
00:54:44,781 --> 00:54:45,823
Winston,
825
00:54:47,367 --> 00:54:49,953
we are going to suffer an earthly defeat,
826
00:54:50,495 --> 00:54:52,497
our army will be wiped out,
827
00:54:52,664 --> 00:54:54,540
and the invasion is imminent.
828
00:54:55,583 --> 00:54:56,918
Let's be rational.
829
00:54:57,877 --> 00:55:00,004
We are a nation of sailors,
830
00:55:00,171 --> 00:55:01,339
we are
831
00:55:01,756 --> 00:55:03,299
since the Bronze Age.
832
00:55:04,008 --> 00:55:05,760
The Channel belongs to us.
833
00:55:05,927 --> 00:55:08,304
She is our moat, our rampart,
834
00:55:08,513 --> 00:55:11,432
and the Germans
have never seen a body of water
835
00:55:11,641 --> 00:55:13,559
bigger than a damn lake.
836
00:55:13,726 --> 00:55:16,813
It would first be necessary
let them reach our island, Edward.
837
00:55:17,146 --> 00:55:18,731
Men, women and children,
838
00:55:18,898 --> 00:55:22,277
because we will have missed
to our duty of protection,
839
00:55:22,443 --> 00:55:23,695
will be defenseless.
840
00:55:23,861 --> 00:55:25,029
Whose fault is it?
841
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:28,074
Facing the greatest army ever created.
842
00:55:28,366 --> 00:55:32,662
France will capitulate, and Germany
will increase its aircraft production.
843
00:55:32,954 --> 00:55:35,123
She will appropriate the French fleet.
844
00:55:35,248 --> 00:55:37,709
What will stop Hitler?
845
00:55:37,959 --> 00:55:40,211
Words, words, nothing else.
846
00:55:43,256 --> 00:55:46,217
If you refuse peace talks,
I will have to...
847
00:55:46,342 --> 00:55:48,386
Couldn't Edward be allowed
848
00:55:48,803 --> 00:55:49,887
a simple meeting
849
00:55:50,221 --> 00:55:52,557
with the Italian ambassador, Bastianini,
850
00:55:52,724 --> 00:55:54,392
in order to discuss the possible role
851
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:58,187
Italians in mediation
between us and Germany,
852
00:55:59,397 --> 00:56:00,690
and what it would cost?
853
00:56:26,090 --> 00:56:27,258
TOILETS
854
00:56:27,342 --> 00:56:28,384
BUSY
855
00:56:38,895 --> 00:56:40,021
Mr. President.
856
00:56:40,396 --> 00:56:41,481
Winston!
857
00:56:41,689 --> 00:56:42,732
Franklin.
858
00:56:43,983 --> 00:56:45,026
How are you ?
859
00:56:45,193 --> 00:56:46,319
Good.
860
00:56:46,444 --> 00:56:48,571
And you, Mr. Prime Minister?
861
00:56:49,072 --> 00:56:51,824
I'm in great shape.
862
00:56:52,909 --> 00:56:53,951
Tell me,
863
00:56:54,035 --> 00:56:57,205
I will call you about
864
00:56:57,914 --> 00:56:59,207
of your ships.
865
00:56:59,332 --> 00:57:01,501
If you could lend us
wouldn't it be...
866
00:57:02,293 --> 00:57:05,213
50 used destroyers,
867
00:57:05,380 --> 00:57:08,049
or even 40 would be enough.
868
00:57:08,674 --> 00:57:10,218
That is to say...
869
00:57:10,343 --> 00:57:12,470
I found out
870
00:57:12,929 --> 00:57:15,556
but it's impossible, I fear.
871
00:57:16,349 --> 00:57:20,978
The Neutrality Law
signed last year ties my hands.
872
00:57:21,145 --> 00:57:22,814
I can't get around it.
873
00:57:22,980 --> 00:57:24,148
I tried.
874
00:57:24,690 --> 00:57:25,733
Can I...
875
00:57:28,027 --> 00:57:31,697
Do I have your permission
876
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,200
to send an aircraft carrier
877
00:57:34,367 --> 00:57:37,995
take the P-40 planes
that we bought for you.
878
00:57:41,999 --> 00:57:43,209
Mr. the President?
879
00:57:44,419 --> 00:57:46,421
Here too, we are stuck.
880
00:57:46,921 --> 00:57:51,008
A new law prohibits
transshipment of military equipment.
881
00:57:51,175 --> 00:57:53,344
But we paid them.
882
00:57:53,636 --> 00:57:58,057
We paid them with the money
that we borrowed from you.
883
00:57:58,224 --> 00:58:01,060
I'm really sorry, Winston.
884
00:58:05,648 --> 00:58:08,985
There is no point in me reminding you
885
00:58:09,735 --> 00:58:13,990
the difficulties
facing the Western Hemisphere.
886
00:58:15,575 --> 00:58:18,828
Deprived of support from you...
887
00:58:18,995 --> 00:58:20,538
I know.
888
00:58:21,372 --> 00:58:23,958
You are in my thoughts day and night.
889
00:58:26,502 --> 00:58:30,006
Wait, maybe we could...
890
00:58:30,423 --> 00:58:32,091
Mr. President...
891
00:58:32,258 --> 00:58:33,634
What I mean...
892
00:58:33,843 --> 00:58:34,969
We are
893
00:58:35,511 --> 00:58:38,973
in a desperate situation.
894
00:58:39,140 --> 00:58:40,600
We can drop off your planes
895
00:58:40,808 --> 00:58:43,478
about 1 km
from the Canadian border.
896
00:58:44,312 --> 00:58:48,941
If you send a team of horses
from Canada,
897
00:58:49,108 --> 00:58:50,485
not motorized vehicles,
898
00:58:50,776 --> 00:58:53,696
you will be able to
get them across the border.
899
00:58:55,615 --> 00:58:57,325
What do you say?
900
00:59:00,703 --> 00:59:01,829
Horses?
901
00:59:04,290 --> 00:59:08,461
You said it right
a team of horses?
902
00:59:09,337 --> 00:59:12,215
Otherwise, you can
push them yourself,
903
00:59:12,632 --> 00:59:14,634
Those damn things have wheels.
904
00:59:17,470 --> 00:59:18,721
It's up to you.
905
00:59:22,475 --> 00:59:24,852
We could do that.
906
00:59:28,564 --> 00:59:29,732
Mr. the Prime Minister?
907
00:59:34,153 --> 00:59:37,490
All you can do,
Franklin,
908
00:59:37,657 --> 00:59:39,408
will be greatly appreciated.
909
00:59:40,117 --> 00:59:41,994
Good night, Winston.
910
00:59:42,912 --> 00:59:44,622
It must be late at home.
911
00:59:45,915 --> 00:59:48,000
Much later
912
00:59:48,376 --> 00:59:50,670
than you can imagine.
913
01:00:36,465 --> 01:00:39,385
Call Admiral Ramsay
on one of these lines.
914
01:00:39,594 --> 01:00:41,137
Good, Mr. Prime Minister.
915
01:00:42,013 --> 01:00:43,556
Pass me Admiral Ramsay.
916
01:01:03,242 --> 01:01:04,285
Admiral Ramsay.
917
01:01:04,660 --> 01:01:05,911
It's the Prime Minister.
918
01:01:07,538 --> 01:01:08,581
Bertie?
919
01:01:10,499 --> 01:01:12,668
I hope I don't wake you.
920
01:01:12,835 --> 01:01:15,338
Not at all, I read the Bible.
921
01:01:16,339 --> 01:01:17,381
The Exodus?
922
01:01:19,008 --> 01:01:20,217
Listen to me, Bertie.
923
01:01:20,635 --> 01:01:23,054
We must evacuate our soldiers.
924
01:01:23,512 --> 01:01:27,933
The Royal Navy says that with a cruiser,
6 destroyers and with...
925
01:01:28,392 --> 01:01:30,686
the Luftwaffe which controls the sky,
926
01:01:30,853 --> 01:01:33,230
at best, we will save 1 in 10.
927
01:01:33,397 --> 01:01:36,359
I want you to order
928
01:01:36,567 --> 01:01:38,194
a gathering of boats.
929
01:01:40,613 --> 01:01:42,698
- Boats?
- Yes...
930
01:01:43,532 --> 01:01:45,117
Civilian boats.
931
01:01:45,284 --> 01:01:47,536
Anyone you can find.
932
01:01:48,287 --> 01:01:50,706
Whether it's clippers,
or luxury yachts,
933
01:01:50,873 --> 01:01:54,960
any boat over 9 meters,
who can go to France.
934
01:01:57,755 --> 01:01:59,006
Are you still there?
935
01:02:00,675 --> 01:02:01,717
Understood.
936
01:02:03,469 --> 01:02:06,597
Help me set up this operation.
937
01:02:07,848 --> 01:02:11,352
Let's at least try
to bring back some soldiers.
938
01:02:12,478 --> 01:02:14,689
I forward the order to the BBC.
939
01:02:15,106 --> 01:02:16,148
GOOD.
940
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:18,984
Bertie, are you still there?
941
01:02:19,735 --> 01:02:20,778
Yes, Sir.
942
01:02:20,861 --> 01:02:22,571
We need a name
943
01:02:23,197 --> 01:02:24,240
for this operation.
944
01:02:24,532 --> 01:02:25,950
GENERATOR
945
01:02:27,743 --> 01:02:30,871
Hello, Mr. Prime Minister.
A word for our readers?
946
01:02:38,587 --> 01:02:40,256
MAY 25
947
01:02:40,339 --> 01:02:42,216
MAY 26
948
01:02:45,678 --> 01:02:48,472
How do you do
to drink during the day?
949
01:02:52,685 --> 01:02:54,061
I have practice.
950
01:03:14,331 --> 01:03:16,125
I wanted to talk to you...
951
01:03:16,709 --> 01:03:19,754
I was asked if I needed to plan
952
01:03:20,254 --> 01:03:22,757
my evacuation and that of my family
953
01:03:22,965 --> 01:03:24,008
to Canada.
954
01:03:25,509 --> 01:03:27,595
What is the Prime Minister's opinion?
955
01:03:29,805 --> 01:03:33,934
I think you have to do
what you think is right for you,
956
01:03:34,769 --> 01:03:35,895
your family,
957
01:03:36,729 --> 01:03:37,980
and the nation.
958
01:03:39,273 --> 01:03:41,734
Your survival is paramount.
959
01:03:42,943 --> 01:03:44,695
We, Prime Ministers,
960
01:03:44,820 --> 01:03:48,532
we follow each other
at a staggering rate.
961
01:03:48,699 --> 01:03:51,744
Your position in Parliament
962
01:03:52,369 --> 01:03:54,246
I am told, is not solid.
963
01:03:56,415 --> 01:03:57,750
My party
964
01:03:58,751 --> 01:04:00,878
don't like the way
965
01:04:01,754 --> 01:04:04,173
from which Chamberlain was dismissed.
966
01:04:04,507 --> 01:04:06,217
They don't trust me.
967
01:04:06,425 --> 01:04:07,760
They want Halifax,
968
01:04:07,927 --> 01:04:11,597
but why replace the player
barrel organ by his monkey?
969
01:04:11,972 --> 01:04:15,434
Lord Halifax is a close friend.
970
01:04:21,106 --> 01:04:22,691
They don't want me.
971
01:04:26,278 --> 01:04:28,906
People are wary of me
from the Dardanelles.
972
01:04:30,533 --> 01:04:31,659
They don't want me.
973
01:04:32,576 --> 01:04:34,745
Maybe because
you scare people.
974
01:04:34,954 --> 01:04:35,996
Who ?
975
01:04:36,288 --> 01:04:37,331
You scare me.
976
01:04:38,624 --> 01:04:39,834
It's absurd.
977
01:04:42,044 --> 01:04:45,047
How can I scare you?
978
01:04:45,548 --> 01:04:48,384
You never know
what words will come out of your mouth.
979
01:04:48,551 --> 01:04:49,969
Words that flatter,
980
01:04:50,469 --> 01:04:51,971
words that hurt.
981
01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:00,855
I have unbridled emotions.
982
01:05:02,857 --> 01:05:05,150
A passion that I have in my blood,
983
01:05:06,193 --> 01:05:08,529
and which I share with my father.
984
01:05:09,864 --> 01:05:11,949
And my mother, too.
985
01:05:12,825 --> 01:05:15,828
We don't know moderation.
986
01:05:18,247 --> 01:05:19,874
Were you close to your parents?
987
01:05:20,291 --> 01:05:21,458
My mother
988
01:05:22,084 --> 01:05:23,794
was fascinating,
989
01:05:24,879 --> 01:05:27,089
but perhaps too loved.
990
01:05:28,841 --> 01:05:31,719
My father was like God,
991
01:05:32,469 --> 01:05:33,971
busy elsewhere.
992
01:06:17,765 --> 01:06:19,099
Hello, gentlemen.
993
01:06:19,350 --> 01:06:20,684
I invited
994
01:06:21,518 --> 01:06:24,939
the Minister of War
to join us.
995
01:06:26,023 --> 01:06:27,733
Neville, would you...
996
01:06:28,067 --> 01:06:29,151
Anthony!
997
01:06:31,487 --> 01:06:32,655
Obviously,
998
01:06:32,905 --> 01:06:36,158
the situation is perilous.
999
01:06:36,617 --> 01:06:38,577
But the President of the French Council
1000
01:06:38,744 --> 01:06:39,954
assures me that even if
1001
01:06:40,746 --> 01:06:43,749
German armored units
reached the sea,
1002
01:06:44,541 --> 01:06:46,585
the situation appears to be under control.
1003
01:06:47,503 --> 01:06:49,672
What news from Calais?
1004
01:06:49,838 --> 01:06:53,926
The attack of our soldiers failed
and the garrison is surrounded.
1005
01:06:54,843 --> 01:06:57,471
She wipes
a deluge of shells and bombs.
1006
01:06:57,638 --> 01:06:59,306
Our losses amount to 60%.
1007
01:07:10,693 --> 01:07:11,777
Mr. Prime Minister,
1008
01:07:12,861 --> 01:07:14,113
peace talks.
1009
01:07:15,531 --> 01:07:17,408
We need to have nerve.
1010
01:07:17,825 --> 01:07:22,121
Show that we hear
fight it out until the end.
1011
01:07:22,579 --> 01:07:24,081
Propose peace,
1012
01:07:24,289 --> 01:07:26,542
- it's showing oneself weak.
- Exact.
1013
01:07:26,750 --> 01:07:27,960
If we are beaten,
1014
01:07:28,085 --> 01:07:31,797
it won't be worse
than give up now.
1015
01:07:32,339 --> 01:07:34,967
Let's avoid getting carried away
1016
01:07:35,509 --> 01:07:37,052
on slippery ground
1017
01:07:37,219 --> 01:07:39,513
peace talks.
1018
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:40,973
The slippery slope?
1019
01:07:41,849 --> 01:07:43,517
I suspect Italy and Germany
1020
01:07:44,309 --> 01:07:47,146
to want to trap us
in the negotiations
1021
01:07:47,354 --> 01:07:50,024
to prevent us
to turn back.
1022
01:07:50,190 --> 01:07:51,400
Fake.
Bastianini says...
1023
01:07:51,567 --> 01:07:53,569
- I suggest...
- The only land...
1024
01:07:53,736 --> 01:07:57,031
Stop interrupting me
when I interrupt you!
1025
01:08:01,035 --> 01:08:06,206
By composing my War Cabinet,
I took care to surround myself with rivals.
1026
01:08:07,249 --> 01:08:08,751
Maybe I overdid it.
1027
01:08:09,793 --> 01:08:10,836
Viscount of Halifax,
1028
01:08:11,795 --> 01:08:13,172
the approach you propose
1029
01:08:14,214 --> 01:08:16,925
is not only futile,
1030
01:08:17,509 --> 01:08:19,636
but she makes us run
a mortal danger.
1031
01:08:19,970 --> 01:08:21,555
The real mortal danger,
1032
01:08:21,722 --> 01:08:25,976
it's the romantic dream
to fight until the end.
1033
01:08:27,728 --> 01:08:29,021
What is the end,
1034
01:08:29,980 --> 01:08:31,940
if not the destruction of everything?
1035
01:08:33,358 --> 01:08:36,737
There is nothing heroic about dying in combat.
if it can be avoided.
1036
01:08:37,112 --> 01:08:40,616
There is no patriotism
in death or glory
1037
01:08:40,783 --> 01:08:42,493
if one is certain of dying.
1038
01:08:42,993 --> 01:08:45,788
There's no shame
to want to shorten a war
1039
01:08:46,038 --> 01:08:47,456
that we lose.
1040
01:08:47,623 --> 01:08:48,665
We lose?
1041
01:08:48,749 --> 01:08:50,084
Europe is still...
1042
01:08:50,250 --> 01:08:51,752
Europe is lost.
1043
01:08:58,967 --> 01:09:02,262
And before our troops
are not completely destroyed,
1044
01:09:03,055 --> 01:09:04,932
the time has come to negotiate
1045
01:09:05,057 --> 01:09:07,851
in order to obtain
the best possible conditions.
1046
01:09:09,770 --> 01:09:12,064
Hitler will not impose
scandalous terms.
1047
01:09:12,231 --> 01:09:15,025
He knows his weaknesses.
He will be reasonable.
1048
01:09:15,192 --> 01:09:17,069
When will we learn?
1049
01:09:17,569 --> 01:09:19,738
When will we learn?
1050
01:09:21,198 --> 01:09:23,492
How many dictators
1051
01:09:23,659 --> 01:09:25,953
will we still have to court,
1052
01:09:26,078 --> 01:09:29,164
appease, and shower with privileges,
1053
01:09:29,331 --> 01:09:31,125
before learning the lesson?
1054
01:09:31,625 --> 01:09:34,169
You don't argue with a tiger
1055
01:09:34,628 --> 01:09:37,339
when your head is in your mouth!
1056
01:09:39,216 --> 01:09:40,259
Mr. Prime Minister!
1057
01:09:41,093 --> 01:09:42,136
Winston.
1058
01:09:44,555 --> 01:09:46,849
- Yesterday you accepted.
- Accepted what?
1059
01:09:47,474 --> 01:09:49,017
That I meet Bastianini.
1060
01:09:49,143 --> 01:09:51,603
I allowed theoretical exploration
1061
01:09:51,770 --> 01:09:54,731
of the price that Italy would demand,
that's all.
1062
01:09:54,898 --> 01:09:58,193
If you do not allow
the search for a peace agreement
1063
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:00,070
then you will have my resignation.
1064
01:10:00,237 --> 01:10:03,615
Don't be stupid.
I need you, you know that.
1065
01:10:03,782 --> 01:10:07,578
I refuse to see
another generation of young men
1066
01:10:07,870 --> 01:10:10,455
die on the bloody altar
of your pride.
1067
01:10:10,622 --> 01:10:12,791
Should we die like lambs?
1068
01:10:12,958 --> 01:10:16,003
- The Dardanelles weren't enough?
- Do you dare?
1069
01:10:16,503 --> 01:10:20,048
Our troops were chewing
barbed wire in Flanders,
1070
01:10:20,174 --> 01:10:21,550
I saw them.
1071
01:10:22,634 --> 01:10:23,886
Open a second front
1072
01:10:24,261 --> 01:10:25,804
to bypass the Turks
1073
01:10:25,971 --> 01:10:28,557
was a serious military idea
1074
01:10:28,724 --> 01:10:30,184
which could very well have worked
1075
01:10:30,559 --> 01:10:32,519
if the admirals
and Commander of the Royal Navy
1076
01:10:32,686 --> 01:10:35,355
hadn't spoiled
our surprise effect.
1077
01:10:40,235 --> 01:10:41,778
It's up to you to decide.
1078
01:10:42,613 --> 01:10:45,741
Start talks within 24 hours,
or I resign.
1079
01:10:58,128 --> 01:10:59,922
MORPHINE SULFATE
1080
01:11:00,339 --> 01:11:01,673
I warned him.
1081
01:11:02,507 --> 01:11:03,759
It shook him.
1082
01:11:04,509 --> 01:11:05,677
I imagine.
1083
01:11:06,136 --> 01:11:07,804
I gave him 24 hours.
1084
01:11:07,971 --> 01:11:09,389
I think he will refuse.
1085
01:11:09,598 --> 01:11:11,934
I will resign first,
you will follow.
1086
01:11:12,100 --> 01:11:15,270
It is crucial to present
a motion of censure in the House.
1087
01:11:15,896 --> 01:11:17,147
I will announce it.
1088
01:11:18,982 --> 01:11:20,442
The king will support us.
1089
01:11:37,167 --> 01:11:38,210
Mr. Prime Minister.
1090
01:11:38,543 --> 01:11:41,380
When would you like
speak to the External Cabinet?
1091
01:11:43,006 --> 01:11:45,175
Today the Admiralty gave the order
1092
01:11:45,300 --> 01:11:48,220
to all owners
of motorized pleasure boats
1093
01:11:48,387 --> 01:11:50,847
measuring
between 9 and 30 meters in length
1094
01:11:51,014 --> 01:11:53,809
to make yourself known immediately.
1095
01:11:54,393 --> 01:11:56,436
To Brigadier General Nicholson,
1096
01:11:59,731 --> 01:12:02,150
30th Infantry Brigade,
1097
01:12:02,901 --> 01:12:03,944
Calais.
1098
01:12:06,947 --> 01:12:08,198
Every hour that passes,
1099
01:12:09,408 --> 01:12:11,410
where you continue to hold,
1100
01:12:12,786 --> 01:12:14,746
provides immeasurable help
1101
01:12:15,872 --> 01:12:18,208
to our forces at Dunkirk.
1102
01:12:21,295 --> 01:12:22,754
I have the biggest
1103
01:12:23,297 --> 01:12:26,008
admiration that can be
1104
01:12:26,967 --> 01:12:28,760
for your superb resistance.
1105
01:12:34,266 --> 01:12:36,393
Your evacuation, however,
1106
01:12:37,144 --> 01:12:39,521
will not take place.
1107
01:12:45,444 --> 01:12:46,528
I repeat...
1108
01:12:49,281 --> 01:12:50,949
will not take place.
1109
01:12:59,458 --> 01:13:00,500
Signature.
1110
01:13:16,183 --> 01:13:17,642
Here.
1111
01:13:21,688 --> 01:13:23,065
Can I go out?
1112
01:13:23,357 --> 01:13:24,441
Certainly not.
1113
01:13:26,818 --> 01:13:28,070
What is happening?
1114
01:13:31,073 --> 01:13:32,366
They don't tell us anything.
1115
01:13:34,701 --> 01:13:36,161
Everything is confidential.
1116
01:13:38,288 --> 01:13:41,083
We hear snippets
and it's even worse.
1117
01:13:45,962 --> 01:13:47,756
What would you like to know?
1118
01:13:55,305 --> 01:13:57,849
How many men will survive?
1119
01:14:04,898 --> 01:14:05,941
Follow me.
1120
01:14:14,658 --> 01:14:17,494
- I have no right to enter.
- Now, yes.
1121
01:14:18,578 --> 01:14:20,247
Rest, gentlemen.
1122
01:14:26,378 --> 01:14:29,005
The Germans
control all French ports
1123
01:14:29,172 --> 01:14:31,425
except Dunkirk here, and Calais to the west,
1124
01:14:31,591 --> 01:14:34,219
where the garrison
of Brigadier General Nicholson
1125
01:14:34,386 --> 01:14:35,637
draws enemy fire
1126
01:14:35,762 --> 01:14:38,306
and delay
the German advance on Dunkirk.
1127
01:14:38,515 --> 01:14:40,016
In these two points,
1128
01:14:40,392 --> 01:14:42,144
our troops are surrounded.
1129
01:14:42,310 --> 01:14:44,187
We always try
1130
01:14:44,354 --> 01:14:46,982
to clear the wrecks
from the port of Dunkirk
1131
01:14:47,149 --> 01:14:51,069
in order to dock boats
to evacuate our soldiers.
1132
01:14:51,236 --> 01:14:54,531
But the enemy aircraft are pounding us.
1133
01:14:54,656 --> 01:14:58,452
Our only hope
would be cloud cover
1134
01:14:59,202 --> 01:15:02,414
to thwart these attacks,
but the sky is clear.
1135
01:15:02,914 --> 01:15:04,416
And even if it were,
1136
01:15:04,666 --> 01:15:07,878
I am told it will take a miracle
1137
01:15:08,086 --> 01:15:11,006
to evacuate only
10% of our men.
1138
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:16,052
Courage, Miss Layton.
1139
01:15:17,471 --> 01:15:18,555
Courage.
1140
01:15:19,181 --> 01:15:20,390
General.
1141
01:15:21,766 --> 01:15:23,268
How much time do they have left?
1142
01:15:24,436 --> 01:15:26,313
if we don't go and rescue them?
1143
01:15:29,232 --> 01:15:30,275
A...
1144
01:15:30,901 --> 01:15:31,943
maybe
1145
01:15:33,153 --> 01:15:34,237
two days.
1146
01:15:40,327 --> 01:15:41,411
News from Calais,
1147
01:15:41,661 --> 01:15:43,038
the 30th Infantry Brigade.
1148
01:15:43,205 --> 01:15:44,706
They retreated to the citadel
1149
01:15:44,831 --> 01:15:47,459
to fight their last battle.
1150
01:15:47,626 --> 01:15:50,629
The save-who-can order
was given to them.
1151
01:15:50,754 --> 01:15:52,631
General, a telegram.
1152
01:15:59,137 --> 01:16:00,222
Well done, guys.
1153
01:16:17,614 --> 01:16:18,740
Are you okay, soldiers?
1154
01:16:32,587 --> 01:16:34,798
Your evacuation, however,
1155
01:16:35,507 --> 01:16:37,968
will not take place.
1156
01:16:39,844 --> 01:16:42,889
I repeat, will not take place.
1157
01:17:09,958 --> 01:17:11,001
CALAIS HAS FALLEN.
1158
01:17:11,209 --> 01:17:13,920
NUMBER OF VICTIMS
AND UNKNOWN PRISONERS.
1159
01:17:30,270 --> 01:17:31,855
Go to bed, pig.
1160
01:17:33,815 --> 01:17:35,317
You have to sleep.
1161
01:17:37,944 --> 01:17:39,654
Leave me, Clemmie.
1162
01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:43,408
I had the opportunity
but that was a long time ago.
1163
01:18:14,814 --> 01:18:16,775
Who do you want to talk to?
1164
01:18:17,484 --> 01:18:19,110
- Give me Ramsay.
- A moment.
1165
01:18:21,696 --> 01:18:22,739
Bertie?
1166
01:18:23,406 --> 01:18:24,783
What is the reaction?
1167
01:18:24,908 --> 01:18:27,661
It's going to take time, it's too early.
1168
01:18:27,827 --> 01:18:31,206
- How many boats?
- Winston, you have to wait.
1169
01:18:31,373 --> 01:18:34,834
The call for civilian boats
was not a call!
1170
01:18:34,959 --> 01:18:36,670
It was an order!
1171
01:18:43,093 --> 01:18:44,678
MAY 26
1172
01:18:45,261 --> 01:18:46,596
MAY 27
1173
01:18:52,894 --> 01:18:54,437
- Miss Layton.
- Sir.
1174
01:18:55,021 --> 01:18:56,523
I need to contact...
1175
01:18:57,649 --> 01:18:58,692
contact,
1176
01:18:59,567 --> 01:19:00,902
talk to
1177
01:19:02,612 --> 01:19:03,655
Yes?
1178
01:19:04,489 --> 01:19:06,366
- 3 p.m.
- 3 p.m., sir?
1179
01:19:09,703 --> 01:19:11,913
Tell Bridges to summon...
1180
01:19:13,415 --> 01:19:14,457
Damn,
1181
01:19:14,624 --> 01:19:15,917
the War Cabinet
1182
01:19:16,167 --> 01:19:17,669
at 3 p.m., thank you.
1183
01:19:22,465 --> 01:19:23,508
Sir.
1184
01:19:24,300 --> 01:19:26,386
From Lord Gort in France.
1185
01:19:31,683 --> 01:19:33,977
Belgium capitulated.
1186
01:19:35,812 --> 01:19:38,940
They will surrender at midnight.
1187
01:19:41,985 --> 01:19:44,070
France will follow closely.
1188
01:19:56,958 --> 01:19:58,334
According to our information,
1189
01:19:58,501 --> 01:20:02,213
attack strategy
that Germany intends to use
1190
01:20:03,173 --> 01:20:05,216
would be to send a fleet of ships,
1191
01:20:05,425 --> 01:20:08,094
about 200,
carrying 100 men each,
1192
01:20:08,303 --> 01:20:11,014
with a view to carrying out
a large-scale raid.
1193
01:20:11,222 --> 01:20:13,433
Thus, a considerable enemy force
1194
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:16,728
would land at various points
simultaneously,
1195
01:20:16,895 --> 01:20:18,772
supported by air raids.
1196
01:20:19,063 --> 01:20:22,609
We think we don't have
maritime or air means
1197
01:20:22,776 --> 01:20:24,486
to prevent this attack.
1198
01:20:27,572 --> 01:20:28,948
Can you repeat?
1199
01:20:29,657 --> 01:20:32,869
We must prepare
to the imminent invasion of our island.
1200
01:20:36,664 --> 01:20:39,125
We must prepare
to the imminent invasion of our island.
1201
01:20:40,168 --> 01:20:44,881
We recommend
to warn the country of the danger.
1202
01:20:45,006 --> 01:20:49,052
All qualified personnel
to put the country in a state of defense
1203
01:20:49,219 --> 01:20:50,720
should be mobilized
1204
01:20:50,887 --> 01:20:52,639
as soon as possible.
1205
01:20:53,223 --> 01:20:54,265
Light.
1206
01:21:00,063 --> 01:21:02,398
Thank you, general.
1207
01:21:05,693 --> 01:21:09,030
Make the preparations.
1208
01:21:10,990 --> 01:21:14,536
Please note that the Italian Embassy
in London contacted me.
1209
01:21:14,702 --> 01:21:16,830
Italy is ready
to serve as an intermediary
1210
01:21:16,996 --> 01:21:19,207
between Great Britain,
its allies, and Germany.
1211
01:21:26,130 --> 01:21:27,799
Perhaps, in this case,
1212
01:21:30,009 --> 01:21:31,052
that the moment
1213
01:21:32,637 --> 01:21:36,057
to accept this proposal
will come when...
1214
01:21:41,479 --> 01:21:42,772
will come when...
1215
01:21:45,233 --> 01:21:51,739
when Germany
will have tried in vain to invade this country.
1216
01:21:51,823 --> 01:21:52,866
In vain?
1217
01:21:52,991 --> 01:21:55,702
In this case, you are forcing me to give...
1218
01:21:55,869 --> 01:21:56,953
Winston!
1219
01:21:57,745 --> 01:21:59,080
You refuse
1220
01:22:00,039 --> 01:22:01,833
to understand reality
1221
01:22:02,584 --> 01:22:05,336
of the fragility of our situation.
1222
01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:09,716
Our army
is about to be wiped out.
1223
01:22:09,966 --> 01:22:12,969
An agreement must be found!
1224
01:22:18,349 --> 01:22:19,392
Anthony?
1225
01:22:38,077 --> 01:22:40,163
It therefore seems that
1226
01:22:42,332 --> 01:22:44,375
we are forced
1227
01:22:45,293 --> 01:22:47,503
to at least consider
1228
01:22:48,546 --> 01:22:51,591
the path of negotiation.
1229
01:22:53,927 --> 01:22:56,888
If Hitler's conditions are
1230
01:22:58,932 --> 01:23:02,852
suzerainty over central Europe,
1231
01:23:04,187 --> 01:23:07,523
the return
of certain German colonies,
1232
01:23:08,983 --> 01:23:10,026
and...
1233
01:23:10,985 --> 01:23:12,946
if he leaves us
1234
01:23:13,947 --> 01:23:15,949
our independence,
1235
01:23:19,285 --> 01:23:21,621
then I would be happy
1236
01:23:22,747 --> 01:23:24,916
to be able to put an end
1237
01:23:26,793 --> 01:23:28,044
to our difficulties.
1238
01:23:29,879 --> 01:23:31,673
But it is unlikely
1239
01:23:32,423 --> 01:23:35,176
let him make such a proposal to us.
1240
01:23:36,177 --> 01:23:37,387
If someone told me
1241
01:23:37,595 --> 01:23:40,723
what are the german conditions,
1242
01:23:45,311 --> 01:23:47,522
I would be willing
1243
01:23:48,106 --> 01:23:49,565
to study them.
1244
01:23:51,359 --> 01:23:53,277
Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister.
1245
01:23:54,654 --> 01:23:56,906
We write
a memorandum on the spot.
1246
01:24:09,335 --> 01:24:13,172
I came to wonder,
1247
01:24:14,674 --> 01:24:16,342
these days,
1248
01:24:21,973 --> 01:24:23,766
if he wasn't
1249
01:24:26,477 --> 01:24:27,770
of my duty,
1250
01:24:35,278 --> 01:24:36,821
of my duty...
1251
01:24:40,241 --> 01:24:41,284
to consider...
1252
01:24:52,045 --> 01:24:53,421
to consider...
1253
01:24:56,340 --> 01:24:58,509
If he wasn't...
1254
01:24:59,594 --> 01:25:01,220
Will that be all, sir?
1255
01:25:06,142 --> 01:25:08,728
If it wasn't my duty
1256
01:25:10,229 --> 01:25:12,690
to start...
1257
01:25:14,317 --> 01:25:16,778
negotiations with...
1258
01:25:17,236 --> 01:25:19,280
HITLER CHALLENGES US
1259
01:25:19,489 --> 01:25:21,949
A PITCHLESS AGGER
1260
01:25:25,620 --> 01:25:27,246
This corporal...
1261
01:25:33,211 --> 01:25:34,754
This tyrant...
1262
01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:42,678
This monster of wickedness...
1263
01:25:44,430 --> 01:25:45,473
This butcher...
1264
01:25:47,183 --> 01:25:49,143
This monster...
1265
01:25:49,769 --> 01:25:51,270
This savage...
1266
01:26:01,823 --> 01:26:03,116
This painter...
1267
01:26:07,495 --> 01:26:08,538
This house painter!
1268
01:26:16,712 --> 01:26:18,297
Where were we?
1269
01:26:22,176 --> 01:26:23,219
Well ?
1270
01:26:26,055 --> 01:26:28,015
I didn't understand, sir.
1271
01:26:29,725 --> 01:26:30,893
You...
1272
01:26:31,477 --> 01:26:32,520
Yes?
1273
01:26:33,437 --> 01:26:34,564
You mumbled.
1274
01:26:35,439 --> 01:26:36,607
I mumbled.
1275
01:26:42,572 --> 01:26:44,448
The right words
1276
01:26:46,409 --> 01:26:47,910
don't come.
1277
01:26:48,494 --> 01:26:49,704
They will come.
1278
01:26:50,413 --> 01:26:52,790
No one has your talent
to find the words.
1279
01:27:16,272 --> 01:27:17,773
Is this your lover?
1280
01:27:18,900 --> 01:27:19,984
Besides.
1281
01:27:22,945 --> 01:27:24,488
Where is he?
1282
01:27:25,198 --> 01:27:27,200
He retreated towards Dunkirk.
1283
01:27:28,868 --> 01:27:30,578
But it never arrived.
1284
01:27:55,269 --> 01:27:56,395
What ?
1285
01:28:01,817 --> 01:28:03,986
I'm looking at you, that's all.
1286
01:28:30,721 --> 01:28:32,098
I read what we have?
1287
01:28:35,851 --> 01:28:37,019
Please.
1288
01:28:43,276 --> 01:28:45,736
"I came to wonder
these days,
1289
01:28:47,405 --> 01:28:51,325
if it wasn't my duty
to consider negotiations
1290
01:28:53,160 --> 01:28:54,203
with..."
1291
01:28:57,623 --> 01:28:58,749
With ?
1292
01:29:47,506 --> 01:29:50,134
I find myself here, imagining
1293
01:29:51,761 --> 01:29:53,763
that I might no longer be here.
1294
01:29:55,056 --> 01:29:56,974
Either because I would have lost my life,
1295
01:29:57,141 --> 01:29:59,226
or because the Palace would have disappeared.
1296
01:30:00,186 --> 01:30:01,312
Canada.
1297
01:30:02,438 --> 01:30:04,357
You must decide, Your Majesty.
1298
01:30:04,523 --> 01:30:05,775
You would reign in exile.
1299
01:30:05,983 --> 01:30:08,277
Is this my destiny?
1300
01:30:13,783 --> 01:30:18,537
You know that at this moment,
I feel angry.
1301
01:30:21,040 --> 01:30:22,541
Black anger.
1302
01:30:26,420 --> 01:30:27,546
My dear ?
1303
01:30:30,758 --> 01:30:32,051
Winston darling.
1304
01:30:35,388 --> 01:30:36,764
Someone asks you.
1305
01:30:37,598 --> 01:30:38,766
You have a visitor.
1306
01:30:50,528 --> 01:30:54,240
My darling, you wear
the weight of the world on your shoulders.
1307
01:30:55,574 --> 01:30:56,659
I know.
1308
01:30:57,326 --> 01:30:59,620
But these inner struggles
1309
01:31:00,955 --> 01:31:03,582
have precisely prepared you
1310
01:31:04,041 --> 01:31:05,543
at this precise moment.
1311
01:31:06,377 --> 01:31:09,088
You are strong because you are imperfect.
1312
01:31:09,255 --> 01:31:12,842
You are wise because you have doubts.
1313
01:31:16,303 --> 01:31:17,638
Should I bring him in?
1314
01:31:19,515 --> 01:31:20,599
Who ?
1315
01:31:21,809 --> 01:31:22,852
The king.
1316
01:31:23,894 --> 01:31:25,229
Which king?
1317
01:31:25,855 --> 01:31:27,273
Our king?
1318
01:31:27,898 --> 01:31:30,526
If it's not him,
the imitation is perfect.
1319
01:31:40,953 --> 01:31:42,037
Mr. Churchill.
1320
01:31:42,663 --> 01:31:45,207
I hope you will forgive
late hour but...
1321
01:31:45,875 --> 01:31:49,420
your wife thought
that it was the ideal evening.
1322
01:31:50,838 --> 01:31:51,922
Can we sit down?
1323
01:31:52,882 --> 01:31:54,800
Yes, please.
1324
01:32:00,181 --> 01:32:02,057
A drink, perhaps?
1325
01:32:10,107 --> 01:32:11,150
I have...
1326
01:32:12,276 --> 01:32:13,360
received...
1327
01:32:14,278 --> 01:32:15,613
a visit.
1328
01:32:16,614 --> 01:32:19,158
- From whom?
- From the Viscount of Halifax.
1329
01:32:19,617 --> 01:32:22,411
It seems that the prospect
of a peace agreement
1330
01:32:23,913 --> 01:32:25,706
becomes clearer
1331
01:32:26,165 --> 01:32:27,208
from hour to hour.
1332
01:32:29,210 --> 01:32:33,380
The War Cabinet
prepares a letter to Mussolini
1333
01:32:34,089 --> 01:32:37,259
asking him to act as a mediator
1334
01:32:37,426 --> 01:32:38,677
with Herr Hitler.
1335
01:32:42,389 --> 01:32:45,351
In this case, Halifax was right.
1336
01:32:47,645 --> 01:32:49,605
I would like to know your opinion.
1337
01:32:50,356 --> 01:32:53,108
You would force me
by giving me yours first.
1338
01:32:54,485 --> 01:32:56,820
I would like to know it myself.
1339
01:32:58,572 --> 01:33:00,074
The nations
1340
01:33:00,908 --> 01:33:02,910
who fall while fighting get up again
1341
01:33:03,077 --> 01:33:04,286
and those...
1342
01:33:05,704 --> 01:33:07,748
who surrender obediently, are finished.
1343
01:33:07,831 --> 01:33:08,874
Belgium?
1344
01:33:09,667 --> 01:33:10,709
Collapsed.
1345
01:33:10,793 --> 01:33:12,378
- Norway?
- Holland.
1346
01:33:13,379 --> 01:33:14,755
France shortly.
1347
01:33:14,922 --> 01:33:17,383
- The state of mind of Parliament?
- Fear, panic.
1348
01:33:17,591 --> 01:33:18,676
And you ?
1349
01:33:21,220 --> 01:33:22,471
Aren't you afraid?
1350
01:33:24,223 --> 01:33:27,476
I am absolutely terrified.
1351
01:33:28,936 --> 01:33:30,437
Support
1352
01:33:31,105 --> 01:33:33,607
which I had at my disposal in the War Cabinet,
1353
01:33:34,900 --> 01:33:37,236
in favor of the idea of resisting,
1354
01:33:38,237 --> 01:33:39,530
collapsed.
1355
01:33:47,788 --> 01:33:51,208
Later in the day,
I will address the House
1356
01:33:52,042 --> 01:33:53,502
accordingly.
1357
01:34:04,263 --> 01:34:06,098
You have my support.
1358
01:34:13,272 --> 01:34:14,982
Your Majesty?
1359
01:34:15,899 --> 01:34:17,860
You have my support.
1360
01:34:20,279 --> 01:34:21,697
I admit it,
1361
01:34:22,990 --> 01:34:26,660
I had my reservations
concerning you, but...
1362
01:34:27,494 --> 01:34:31,206
if some here feared
your nomination, person,
1363
01:34:31,707 --> 01:34:34,126
person
feared it as much as Hitler.
1364
01:34:34,668 --> 01:34:38,297
Anyone who can inspire fear
to this thick brute,
1365
01:34:39,173 --> 01:34:41,675
deserves our complete trust.
1366
01:34:42,301 --> 01:34:45,846
We will work together,
you will have my unwavering support.
1367
01:34:47,139 --> 01:34:49,016
We will beat them, these bastards!
1368
01:34:50,100 --> 01:34:51,977
I will go to Parliament.
1369
01:34:52,603 --> 01:34:55,314
But without the support of my party,
1370
01:34:56,106 --> 01:34:57,900
I must ask for peace.
1371
01:35:02,321 --> 01:35:06,116
One day you gave me some advice,
maybe it's my turn.
1372
01:35:07,701 --> 01:35:10,996
Go meet the people,
he will advise you.
1373
01:35:11,455 --> 01:35:14,625
In a few words, as always.
1374
01:35:15,084 --> 01:35:16,627
But tell him
1375
01:35:17,753 --> 01:35:20,047
the unvarnished truth.
1376
01:35:20,547 --> 01:35:24,802
If invasion is imminent,
if our troops in France are lost,
1377
01:35:25,469 --> 01:35:26,929
they must be ready.
1378
01:35:30,641 --> 01:35:32,351
On certain questions,
1379
01:35:35,938 --> 01:35:38,649
there are very few people
with whom I can
1380
01:35:39,358 --> 01:35:41,443
speak frankly.
1381
01:35:41,777 --> 01:35:43,237
Now we can talk.
1382
01:35:45,572 --> 01:35:47,908
And I don't scare you anymore.
1383
01:35:48,450 --> 01:35:49,576
A little.
1384
01:35:50,327 --> 01:35:51,995
But I'm coping.
1385
01:35:58,752 --> 01:36:00,129
MAY 27
1386
01:36:00,212 --> 01:36:01,422
MAY 28
1387
01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:04,091
We're almost ready.
1388
01:36:04,258 --> 01:36:06,552
Why almost, Bertie?
1389
01:36:06,760 --> 01:36:07,970
Give me a number.
1390
01:36:08,345 --> 01:36:10,681
In total, 860 boats.
1391
01:36:11,515 --> 01:36:13,851
The largest civilian fleet
never trained.
1392
01:36:14,017 --> 01:36:16,353
Operation Dynamo awaits your orders.
1393
01:36:16,478 --> 01:36:17,688
Admiral,
1394
01:36:18,981 --> 01:36:21,358
trigger Operation Dynamo.
1395
01:36:22,067 --> 01:36:24,486
May God watch over them.
1396
01:37:49,404 --> 01:37:51,281
We lost the Prime Minister.
1397
01:38:13,512 --> 01:38:16,348
- Do you know how to read this thing?
- Yes, sir.
1398
01:38:18,058 --> 01:38:19,601
How are we at Westminster?
1399
01:38:23,230 --> 01:38:25,440
The District Line, heading east.
A station.
1400
01:38:25,649 --> 01:38:28,485
The District Line, heading east.
A station.
1401
01:38:29,278 --> 01:38:31,572
- It's not that complicated.
- No, sir.
1402
01:38:32,739 --> 01:38:33,782
THANKS.
1403
01:38:34,116 --> 01:38:35,158
It's me, sir.
1404
01:38:35,284 --> 01:38:36,994
The memorandum is entitled
1405
01:38:37,160 --> 01:38:40,747
Suggestions for approaching Italy,
here is the content:
1406
01:38:41,248 --> 01:38:44,668
"If Mr. Mussolini
agrees to cooperate with us
1407
01:38:44,835 --> 01:38:48,130
with a view to a settlement
of all European questions,
1408
01:38:48,297 --> 01:38:50,507
which would guarantee independence
1409
01:38:50,632 --> 01:38:52,551
and the security of the Allies,
1410
01:38:52,676 --> 01:38:54,469
and which could be the basis
1411
01:38:54,595 --> 01:38:57,431
a just and lasting peace
for Europe,
1412
01:38:57,639 --> 01:39:00,976
we will commit
immediately to discuss
1413
01:39:01,268 --> 01:39:04,146
and find a solution to the questions
1414
01:39:04,313 --> 01:39:07,774
who are interested
more particularly Mr. Mussolini.
1415
01:39:08,275 --> 01:39:11,320
We understand that he wishes to settle
1416
01:39:11,486 --> 01:39:13,822
certain Mediterranean questions,
1417
01:39:14,031 --> 01:39:18,160
and if he wants
specify them to us in secret,
1418
01:39:18,327 --> 01:39:20,078
France and Great Britain
1419
01:39:20,329 --> 01:39:23,206
will do their best
to fulfill his wishes."
1420
01:39:29,212 --> 01:39:30,255
So,
1421
01:39:30,881 --> 01:39:32,966
That’s the metro!
1422
01:39:45,646 --> 01:39:46,688
Thank you.
1423
01:40:25,602 --> 01:40:27,104
Does anyone have a match?
1424
01:40:33,193 --> 01:40:34,236
Thank you.
1425
01:40:40,492 --> 01:40:42,327
What are you looking at like this?
1426
01:40:42,703 --> 01:40:46,790
You have never seen
the Prime Minister in the metro?
1427
01:40:49,793 --> 01:40:50,919
What is your name?
1428
01:40:51,128 --> 01:40:52,796
Oliver Wilson, sir.
1429
01:40:54,339 --> 01:40:57,551
- What is your job ?
- I am a mason.
1430
01:40:58,135 --> 01:40:59,302
Mason.
1431
01:40:59,469 --> 01:41:02,556
We will soon need masons.
1432
01:41:02,681 --> 01:41:04,683
Business will resume.
1433
01:41:09,438 --> 01:41:10,689
We're moving forward!
1434
01:41:16,445 --> 01:41:18,613
- How old?
- 5 months.
1435
01:41:19,239 --> 01:41:20,657
He looks like you.
1436
01:41:21,533 --> 01:41:23,785
All babies look like me.
1437
01:41:26,913 --> 01:41:28,081
What is your name ?
1438
01:41:28,790 --> 01:41:30,542
Mrs. Jessie Sutton.
1439
01:41:31,501 --> 01:41:33,295
I'm delighted.
1440
01:41:34,379 --> 01:41:35,422
Abigail.
1441
01:41:35,964 --> 01:41:37,132
Abigail Walker.
1442
01:41:37,299 --> 01:41:38,842
Marcus Peters.
1443
01:41:43,013 --> 01:41:44,181
Agnes Dillon.
1444
01:41:45,599 --> 01:41:46,641
Maurice Baker.
1445
01:41:47,768 --> 01:41:49,019
Alice Simpson.
1446
01:41:50,187 --> 01:41:51,897
Miss Margaret Jerome.
1447
01:41:52,105 --> 01:41:54,107
Jerome!
1448
01:41:54,733 --> 01:41:56,485
This is the maiden name
of my mother.
1449
01:41:56,651 --> 01:41:59,404
I imagine
that we are close relatives.
1450
01:42:00,489 --> 01:42:03,033
Please, everyone, sit down.
1451
01:42:07,329 --> 01:42:09,164
Thank you, Mr. Baker.
1452
01:42:09,748 --> 01:42:11,666
So how do you...
1453
01:42:12,167 --> 01:42:14,127
how are you holding up?
1454
01:42:15,212 --> 01:42:17,214
Are you okay, are you keeping your spirits up?
1455
01:42:17,631 --> 01:42:18,673
Yes.
1456
01:42:18,882 --> 01:42:20,425
That's so much the better.
1457
01:42:20,592 --> 01:42:22,177
We're going to need it.
1458
01:42:24,471 --> 01:42:26,389
I have a question to ask you.
1459
01:42:26,723 --> 01:42:29,976
This has been worrying me for a while.
1460
01:42:30,435 --> 01:42:32,979
Maybe you will have an answer.
1461
01:42:33,647 --> 01:42:34,689
You,
1462
01:42:35,440 --> 01:42:37,609
the British people,
1463
01:42:38,777 --> 01:42:40,612
what is your state of mind?
1464
01:42:41,279 --> 01:42:44,032
Are you confident?
1465
01:42:44,908 --> 01:42:46,368
If yes, to what extent?
1466
01:42:46,785 --> 01:42:47,828
Very confident.
1467
01:42:47,953 --> 01:42:49,496
They say the cause is lost.
1468
01:42:49,663 --> 01:42:52,624
These are the only causes
who are worth fighting for.
1469
01:42:52,749 --> 01:42:54,876
- Well said.
- One more question.
1470
01:42:55,043 --> 01:42:57,420
Let's assume the worst,
1471
01:42:57,671 --> 01:42:59,464
if the enemy
1472
01:42:59,923 --> 01:43:04,094
appeared in our streets,
what would you do?
1473
01:43:04,344 --> 01:43:06,429
- We would fight.
- Against the fascists.
1474
01:43:06,638 --> 01:43:08,098
With what we could find.
1475
01:43:08,348 --> 01:43:10,600
- With a broom, at worst.
- Street by street.
1476
01:43:10,767 --> 01:43:12,060
They won't have Piccadilly.
1477
01:43:13,645 --> 01:43:15,355
No danger.
1478
01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:18,650
What if I told you
1479
01:43:19,276 --> 01:43:20,777
that we could,
1480
01:43:22,112 --> 01:43:24,823
if we asked nicely,
1481
01:43:24,990 --> 01:43:28,785
obtain favorable conditions
by Mr. Hitler
1482
01:43:28,952 --> 01:43:32,998
by starting talks
peace right away.
1483
01:43:33,456 --> 01:43:34,875
What would you say?
1484
01:43:35,208 --> 01:43:36,334
Never !
1485
01:43:38,378 --> 01:43:39,421
Never !
1486
01:43:47,804 --> 01:43:48,847
Never.
1487
01:43:50,974 --> 01:43:52,017
Never.
1488
01:43:53,727 --> 01:43:55,312
Will you never give up?
1489
01:43:55,604 --> 01:43:56,730
No, never.
1490
01:43:58,690 --> 01:44:02,819
"Then we heard
the valiant Horace,
1491
01:44:05,614 --> 01:44:07,991
door captain:
1492
01:44:09,284 --> 01:44:13,455
To all men
living on this earth, death
1493
01:44:15,123 --> 01:44:16,583
occurs sooner or later.
1494
01:44:18,084 --> 01:44:22,464
Can man have a more beautiful death?
1495
01:44:23,048 --> 01:44:25,425
that while facing immense perils...
1496
01:44:27,886 --> 01:44:30,722
For the ashes of his ancestors
1497
01:44:30,847 --> 01:44:33,058
and the temples of its gods?
1498
01:44:43,360 --> 01:44:44,653
Are you crying?
1499
01:44:50,325 --> 01:44:52,369
I cry easily.
1500
01:44:54,621 --> 01:44:56,498
You'll have to get used to it.
1501
01:44:58,917 --> 01:45:00,669
What is this station?
1502
01:45:00,877 --> 01:45:02,921
Westminster, sir.
1503
01:45:03,838 --> 01:45:06,383
Westminster. This is my station.
1504
01:45:38,915 --> 01:45:40,166
Mr. Prime Minister.
1505
01:45:45,880 --> 01:45:46,923
The War Cabinet.
1506
01:45:47,465 --> 01:45:48,925
Sir, they are waiting for you.
1507
01:45:49,509 --> 01:45:51,678
I have to speak to the External Cabinet.
1508
01:45:52,387 --> 01:45:53,972
- When ?
- NOW.
1509
01:45:54,139 --> 01:45:57,767
I didn't talk to them
since the formation of the government.
1510
01:46:02,188 --> 01:46:03,523
Hello, gentlemen.
1511
01:46:05,859 --> 01:46:09,571
I will speak to my external Cabinet
in my offices,
1512
01:46:09,738 --> 01:46:14,367
and I invite those who wish
to join us.
1513
01:46:37,098 --> 01:46:38,767
This afternoon,
1514
01:46:41,061 --> 01:46:43,396
I will address the House
1515
01:46:44,773 --> 01:46:48,234
on the issue of national security.
1516
01:46:49,402 --> 01:46:51,154
As I speak to you,
1517
01:46:51,321 --> 01:46:53,198
the War Cabinet
1518
01:46:53,656 --> 01:46:56,659
write a text expressing our will
1519
01:46:56,826 --> 01:47:00,121
to begin peace negotiations
with Herr Hitler
1520
01:47:00,997 --> 01:47:02,332
through...
1521
01:47:03,500 --> 01:47:05,877
his lackey, Mussolini.
1522
01:47:07,962 --> 01:47:11,007
I thought carefully,
1523
01:47:11,508 --> 01:47:15,428
these days, to decide
if it wasn't my duty
1524
01:47:16,346 --> 01:47:19,891
to consider entering into negotiations...
1525
01:47:24,604 --> 01:47:26,022
with this man.
1526
01:47:28,775 --> 01:47:30,318
But then,
1527
01:47:32,946 --> 01:47:34,656
I spoke to...
1528
01:47:39,953 --> 01:47:41,287
Oliver Wilson,
1529
01:47:42,747 --> 01:47:44,707
Ms. Jessie Sutton,
1530
01:47:45,792 --> 01:47:48,920
Ms. Abigail Walker,
1531
01:47:49,671 --> 01:47:51,005
Marcus Peters,
1532
01:47:51,798 --> 01:47:53,758
Maurice Baker,
1533
01:47:53,925 --> 01:47:58,513
Alice Simpson and Miss Margaret Jerome.
1534
01:47:59,139 --> 01:48:01,057
These courageous and honest fellow citizens
1535
01:48:01,224 --> 01:48:05,186
affirmed
that it was illusory to think
1536
01:48:05,395 --> 01:48:07,814
than by trying
to make peace now,
1537
01:48:08,273 --> 01:48:12,360
we would have better conditions
than by fighting to the end.
1538
01:48:13,111 --> 01:48:14,571
The Germans,
1539
01:48:14,737 --> 01:48:17,365
thinks Mr. Baker,
1540
01:48:18,283 --> 01:48:23,580
would demand, in the name of disarmament,
our naval bases and much more,
1541
01:48:23,746 --> 01:48:25,415
and I think he's right.
1542
01:48:25,748 --> 01:48:29,794
Jessie Sutton,
speaking in their names,
1543
01:48:30,587 --> 01:48:33,047
think we would become
1544
01:48:33,381 --> 01:48:35,717
an enslaved state.
1545
01:48:36,217 --> 01:48:39,888
The British government
would become Hitler's puppet.
1546
01:48:40,680 --> 01:48:44,559
A government run
by Mosley, the fascist.
1547
01:48:46,227 --> 01:48:49,647
And I join them
to ask another question,
1548
01:48:49,814 --> 01:48:52,275
a question I ask you now.
1549
01:48:53,651 --> 01:48:57,363
What should become of us,
at the end of all this?
1550
01:49:03,036 --> 01:49:04,829
Some might gain.
1551
01:49:05,038 --> 01:49:09,334
The powerful will perhaps succeed
to do well in the game,
1552
01:49:09,542 --> 01:49:14,547
sheltered in their country forts,
far from the swastika
1553
01:49:14,714 --> 01:49:16,841
which will float above
1554
01:49:17,425 --> 01:49:19,010
from Buckingham Palace!
1555
01:49:19,761 --> 01:49:21,304
From Windsor Castle!
1556
01:49:21,471 --> 01:49:23,473
And all over these buildings.
1557
01:49:23,681 --> 01:49:25,141
Never !
1558
01:49:26,476 --> 01:49:27,810
So, I come to you...
1559
01:49:29,479 --> 01:49:32,065
I come to you
1560
01:49:33,399 --> 01:49:37,111
to know your opinion,
in this serious hour.
1561
01:49:38,655 --> 01:49:39,739
You see,
1562
01:49:39,864 --> 01:49:42,617
I let myself be told
by my new friends
1563
01:49:42,825 --> 01:49:45,495
that you could rise up
1564
01:49:45,870 --> 01:49:47,247
and cut me to pieces
1565
01:49:47,413 --> 01:49:51,167
if I considered for a moment
to negotiate or surrender.
1566
01:49:55,964 --> 01:49:57,757
- Were they wrong?
- No !
1567
01:49:58,383 --> 01:49:59,592
Were they wrong?
1568
01:49:59,926 --> 01:50:01,261
Were they wrong?
1569
01:50:02,804 --> 01:50:04,639
Now I have heard you.
1570
01:50:05,431 --> 01:50:07,100
I heard you.
1571
01:50:09,602 --> 01:50:13,314
It seems to me that, like them,
you wished
1572
01:50:14,440 --> 01:50:18,861
that if the long history of our island
had to end,
1573
01:50:19,028 --> 01:50:22,824
while it ends
that when each of us
1574
01:50:22,991 --> 01:50:27,870
will be on the ground,
drowned in his own blood!
1575
01:50:34,460 --> 01:50:36,754
When I asked
to know their opinion,
1576
01:50:36,921 --> 01:50:41,134
certain reactions,
given the nature of the meeting,
1577
01:50:41,259 --> 01:50:43,177
greatly surprised me.
1578
01:50:43,636 --> 01:50:45,763
There is no doubt
1579
01:50:45,930 --> 01:50:50,018
that if we show the slightest weakness
in the leadership of the nation,
1580
01:50:50,351 --> 01:50:53,146
we will be kicked out of government.
1581
01:50:53,396 --> 01:50:56,858
I am sure that now,
ministers of all stripes
1582
01:50:57,025 --> 01:50:58,860
will be ready to be killed
1583
01:50:59,027 --> 01:51:02,071
and sacrifice their family
and all their possessions
1584
01:51:02,238 --> 01:51:03,948
rather than giving up.
1585
01:51:04,866 --> 01:51:08,953
In this, they represent
almost all the people,
1586
01:51:09,287 --> 01:51:11,247
and it is my responsibility
1587
01:51:12,165 --> 01:51:14,167
in the days and months to come
1588
01:51:14,751 --> 01:51:17,920
to express their feelings.
1589
01:51:20,590 --> 01:51:22,216
There will not be
1590
01:51:23,217 --> 01:51:25,219
of negotiated peace.
1591
01:51:29,766 --> 01:51:31,976
Each of you will react
1592
01:51:32,727 --> 01:51:34,437
as he sees fit.
1593
01:51:39,275 --> 01:51:41,319
Please excuse me, gentlemen.
1594
01:51:42,820 --> 01:51:46,282
I think I have a speech
to give to Parliament,
1595
01:51:46,699 --> 01:51:50,453
and I haven't written a word yet.
1596
01:51:51,037 --> 01:51:52,121
Here they are!
1597
01:51:55,541 --> 01:51:56,834
- Tiny.
- Sir.
1598
01:52:03,424 --> 01:52:05,093
- Miss Layton.
- Sir.
1599
01:52:05,510 --> 01:52:07,303
I need you.
1600
01:52:09,430 --> 01:52:11,974
You must resign
and vote on the motion of censure.
1601
01:52:13,685 --> 01:52:17,605
Let's go to the Commons first,
join our colleagues.
1602
01:52:19,482 --> 01:52:23,486
We will speak
after the Prime Minister's speech.
1603
01:52:42,213 --> 01:52:44,841
"Here is a woman always exhausted,
1604
01:52:45,675 --> 01:52:49,554
because we have always demanded too much from her."
1605
01:53:17,623 --> 01:53:19,584
The Prime Minister.
1606
01:53:29,010 --> 01:53:33,347
To come back
to the question of invasion,
1607
01:53:33,556 --> 01:53:36,726
I will observe
that there never was an era,
1608
01:53:37,518 --> 01:53:40,605
during centuries of history
who make us proud,
1609
01:53:41,189 --> 01:53:46,360
during which
an absolute guarantee against invasion
1610
01:53:47,612 --> 01:53:49,906
could have been given to our people.
1611
01:53:56,996 --> 01:53:58,998
But I am myself
1612
01:53:59,707 --> 01:54:00,792
completely confident
1613
01:54:01,751 --> 01:54:03,753
that if everyone does their duty,
1614
01:54:04,086 --> 01:54:06,589
if we neglect nothing,
1615
01:54:06,923 --> 01:54:09,967
and if we take
the best arrangements,
1616
01:54:10,092 --> 01:54:11,677
as is already the case,
1617
01:54:11,844 --> 01:54:14,889
we will show ourselves
once again able
1618
01:54:15,056 --> 01:54:16,974
to defend our island,
1619
01:54:18,309 --> 01:54:21,312
to weather the storm of war,
1620
01:54:22,688 --> 01:54:25,316
and survive
to the threat of tyranny.
1621
01:54:25,983 --> 01:54:27,610
If necessary,
1622
01:54:28,069 --> 01:54:29,445
for years,
1623
01:54:30,238 --> 01:54:32,031
if necessary,
1624
01:54:33,074 --> 01:54:34,158
alone.
1625
01:54:36,536 --> 01:54:40,665
In any case,
that's what we will try to do.
1626
01:54:41,332 --> 01:54:45,795
This is the resolution
of Her Majesty's Government,
1627
01:54:45,962 --> 01:54:48,005
and of all the men who compose it.
1628
01:54:48,172 --> 01:54:50,258
This is the will
1629
01:54:50,675 --> 01:54:52,760
of Parliament and the nation.
1630
01:54:56,347 --> 01:55:00,101
The British Empire
and the French Republic
1631
01:55:00,226 --> 01:55:04,105
united in the service of the same cause
and the same needs,
1632
01:55:04,313 --> 01:55:06,774
will defend until death
1633
01:55:07,191 --> 01:55:08,651
their native soils.
1634
01:55:10,486 --> 01:55:12,113
They will help each other
1635
01:55:12,363 --> 01:55:14,240
as good comrades
1636
01:55:14,407 --> 01:55:16,742
to the extreme limit of their strength.
1637
01:55:17,118 --> 01:55:18,160
Well said!
1638
01:55:20,705 --> 01:55:26,502
Although whole sections of Europe
and ancient and illustrious states
1639
01:55:27,461 --> 01:55:31,632
have fallen or may still fall
1640
01:55:32,383 --> 01:55:34,969
in the clutches of the Gestapo
1641
01:55:35,511 --> 01:55:39,181
and the vile device
of Nazi authority,
1642
01:55:40,683 --> 01:55:43,227
we will not falter nor fail.
1643
01:55:44,312 --> 01:55:47,607
We will last until the end!
1644
01:55:52,278 --> 01:55:55,031
We will fight in France,
1645
01:55:56,282 --> 01:56:00,369
we will fight
on the seas and oceans,
1646
01:56:01,162 --> 01:56:06,208
we will fight with confidence
and increasing force in the air.
1647
01:56:07,877 --> 01:56:11,047
We will defend our island,
1648
01:56:11,339 --> 01:56:13,799
whatever the price to pay.
1649
01:56:16,385 --> 01:56:19,096
We will fight on the beaches,
1650
01:56:19,847 --> 01:56:23,142
we will fight
on airfields,
1651
01:56:23,809 --> 01:56:26,854
we will fight in the fields
1652
01:56:27,229 --> 01:56:28,940
and in the streets,
1653
01:56:29,649 --> 01:56:32,360
we will fight in the hills.
1654
01:56:32,777 --> 01:56:34,820
We will never surrender!
1655
01:56:44,789 --> 01:56:45,831
Even if...
1656
01:56:50,252 --> 01:56:51,295
even if,
1657
01:56:53,464 --> 01:56:56,342
and I don't believe it for a moment,
1658
01:56:56,759 --> 01:57:01,305
this island
or a large part of this island
1659
01:57:01,555 --> 01:57:04,141
was subjugated and hungry,
1660
01:57:05,309 --> 01:57:09,438
then our Empire beyond the seas,
1661
01:57:10,022 --> 01:57:13,317
armed and guarded by the British fleet,
1662
01:57:14,860 --> 01:57:16,737
would continue the fight
1663
01:57:18,364 --> 01:57:20,950
until at God's appointed time,
1664
01:57:21,701 --> 01:57:26,539
the New World,
in all his strength and power,
1665
01:57:26,956 --> 01:57:32,211
moves forward
to rescue and release the old.
1666
01:58:11,667 --> 01:58:12,710
Victory!
1667
01:58:22,845 --> 01:58:24,180
Have you changed your mind?
1668
01:58:24,930 --> 01:58:27,141
Those who don't change their minds,
1669
01:58:27,308 --> 01:58:29,143
never change anything.
1670
01:58:32,188 --> 01:58:33,689
What just happened?
1671
01:58:34,523 --> 01:58:36,984
He mobilized the English language
1672
01:58:38,444 --> 01:58:40,404
and sent her into battle.
1673
01:59:04,678 --> 01:59:07,389
ALMOST ALL OF THE
300,000 SOLDIERS OF DUNKIRK
1674
01:59:07,473 --> 01:59:10,518
WERE BROUGHT BACK TO THEIR COUNTRY
BY WINSTON’S CIVIL FLEET.
1675
01:59:14,188 --> 01:59:16,732
NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN
DIED SIX MONTHS LATER.
1676
01:59:19,902 --> 01:59:22,822
WINSTON DISMISSED THE VISCOUNT OF HALIFAX
OF THE WAR CABINET
1677
01:59:22,905 --> 01:59:25,157
AND SENT HIM TO WASHINGTON.
1678
01:59:26,826 --> 01:59:28,953
ON MAY 8, FIVE YEARS LATER,
1679
01:59:29,036 --> 01:59:31,831
GREAT BRITAIN AND ITS ALLIES
DECLARED VICTORY.
1680
01:59:31,914 --> 01:59:34,375
THE SAME YEAR, WINSTON
WAS REMOVED FROM POWER
1681
01:59:34,458 --> 01:59:36,210
DURING LEGISLATIVE ELECTIONS.
1682
01:59:37,795 --> 01:59:39,922
“SUCCESS DOES NOT LAST,
FAILURE DOES NOT KILL,
1683
01:59:40,005 --> 01:59:42,258
WHAT MATTERS IS COURAGE
TO CONTINUE.”
1684
01:59:42,341 --> 01:59:43,884
